<BR>>SORRY, black folks NEVER really supported <BR>>traditonal jazz. It was better <BR>>than it is now! But pick <BR>>up any jazz history book or <BR>>(auto)biography and the evidence is on <BR>>every page. <P>You forget that at that time, many of the clubs which were photographed (liek the Cotton Club) were segregated and no blacks were allowed. <P>You're completely wrong about black folks not spporting jazz. No form of black music has blossomed without initial black support. My grandfather (God bless the dead) was a jazz musician. Many of his performances were in front of all black audiences. Stop playing with history, man...fuck a book, ask somebody that was there...<P>Peace,<P>Spirit<BR><a href="http://amphibians.iuma.com">http://amphibians.iuma.com<;/a><BR><a href="http://infiniteloop.iuma.com">http://infiniteloop.iuma.com<;/a><BR>DC hip-hop is on the rise...
