[Dixielandjazz] Israeli Jazz in NYC

[Dixiejazzdata]

For decades now every musician who could not accurately describe their music  which was a derivative of one genre or another or a combination of two or several  has elected to call it JAZZ.   :LOL     Every two bit hack in the world aspires to be a Real Jazz Player and make the BIG BIG MONEY  ha ha    they too live in a delusional world.    The Line for gigs forms three blocks down from the Pizza Joint. go to the back of the line :))

Dear Marek:

Why shoot the messenger? I am not arguing for or against the article.,  
just passing it on.. <grin>

Tell the folks at the UN or the Israelis that what they are presenting  
is not jazz. Or tell everyone else in the world who listens to it,  
that it is not jazz but rather some sort of Israeli hoax.
