Yeah I know. Why on earth would someone want to see artists actually perform on instruments and possibly do some improvisation. Now that's wack. I think seeing someone play an mp3 from their iTunes is much more interesting!! I'm frankly puzzled why the jazz scene hasn't switched over to a laptop. The band could even take turns clicking the mouse. When the jazz drummer wants to do his solo he could walk over and click the mouse, same with the guy that use to play stand up bass. I think this might re-vitalise jazz. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
