Hello all,<BR>
Did the much heralded increased sales of jazz recordings in the USA that<BR>
coincided with the PBS program continue or flop? How about the UK or<BR>
OZ/NZ?Anyone know the trade data? One more thought about the<BR>
contribution of this series to jazz. Regards.<BR>

Wynton Marsalis's recordings have flopped so badly that Sony/Columbia recently dropped him.<BR>
