[NewMusic] The Saga Continues. . .

[Matt Davignon]

Ah, you beat me at posting this. What do people think?

I agree with David in that the article seemed aimed to be
inflammatory, pointing to organizers of the cd comp and festivals.
However, does it represent a trend?

One thing did catch my eye - they said that recent attendance at
Berkeley Jazz festivals was overwhelmingly white. How about the mix at
other jazz shows in the bay area. Is the article pointing out a
symptom of a larger trend where black music fans and young musicians
are moving away from jazz?
