Dear Bill:

You, Jack Mitchell and I talked about the article referenced above. To  
me it was an eye opener and worthy of much discussion pro and con. I  
hope most fans on the DJML will read it and one will start a thread.  
It is indeed an very interesting article about the birth of jazz.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
