<div dir="auto">As often happens, a subject on DJML eventually drifts into something much larger than the original. I think that comparing "connecting with your audience" by a Jazz band with the dancing around we see with other styles of music is a stretch. Not everyone in the audience at a Jazz gig is a knowledgeable Jazz fan, and getting these people "into your pocket" during a gig requires more than just music. Having said that, I am a firm believer in "entertaining" as long as it is backed up with good music. Jim<br><br></div>
