Here's an addendum to my earlier post:

I have been given to understand that the Baltimore Symphony has announced that next year they'll be reducing ticket prices for subsribers so that the prices per concert wind up to be about $25. This was not made possible through a government grant. Rather, it was made possible through a private corporation that wanted to help out and make concerts affordable to those that wished to commit to shows week after week, ie. by subscription.

It's just what I was talking about. That's feeding a need rather than creating one. Jazz needs similar types to make going to shows affordable or to help with advertising so more people know what's going on. You see, there is hope... good music will always win. I have to believe that.

The other good news is that the sales of rap CD's have reduced by 21%. People are getting tired of negativity, endless repetition, etc.... Could it be that with careful placement an audience for good jazz is waiting to put its collective butt in the seat and give it a try? What will be your part in making it happen?
