In Reply to: RE: Hey Jazzers. That Mobley rap is just a taste of what could be on a jazz forum daily. Yowza! nt posted by Rick W on July 23, 2017 at 09:52:29
We need more than 10 people posting on threads to create a viable forum. I still say leave it as it is.
Follow Ups:
Two forums could be helpful to both types of music lovers/listeners.
Some general forums, here, have indeed deteriorated because they are too broad, and so have some very focused forums due to lack of membership and/or enthusiasm.
I don't think a dedicated classical forum is in any danger of deteriorating, but my sense is that there are a lot of jazz lovers out there on AA, who haven't posted about the two forum issue yet, and as I look at record re-seller adds and reviews in the hi-fi press and members systems on AA, I do believe there is a large potential market for a dedicated jazz forum.
What's the point in THAT? ;-)
Besides, there are at least 10 lurkers for every poster.
(yeah, I made that up)
Hep yes, HIP no...

But those who want it seems they don't want to be bothered with classical posts.
Musically,too some jazz musicians are influenced by classical music.
Net net. You are right. There aren't enough people contributing and I don't think more will join in a separate room.
I don't know that some of us don't want to be bothered with classical posts. I think it's more a matter of separate exposure may generate greater interest in jazz.

Based on experience I'm just as likely to be wrong.
This place ain't exactly a 1,000 inmate forum. How many guys do ya think post on classical subjects? Mostly the same small group of inmates.I'm hoping a separate jazz forum will attract people who don't like wading thru the classical posts. Its worth a shot IMO.

This may be a forum with a small number of members, but almost all of them have been involved in the classical music scene for a long time. The posts are informative. The discussions are are interesting to me and the replies to the few questions or comments I have made have always been helpful.
I am not experienced in this area of music. However, I am devoted to a few composers and a few of their works, which I play over and over again. When I do find a new composer I like (due to tips, here), I often buy bargain "complete works" albums, store only the works I like, and then if one feels really exceptional to me, I may ask about different performances for future buying purposes. Members, here, have been very helpful to me in this respect, too.
So, I am hoping that a separate jazz forum will result in the same kind of quality discussions and perhaps even improve the focus of the classical membership.
Much Thanks! Chris.
