In Reply to: Where is the jazz audience? posted by plantsman on March 21, 2011 at 05:34:54:
One of the problem with jazz since bebop came along is that it has become
ever less accessible to the general public. Players like Harry Connick
and Diana Krall who work hard to make it accessible - i.e.,
understandable to the not-musically-trained listener - do just fine.
