Mr. Harris is a working musician so naturally opinions might be colored by the needs of the profession.  That is to be among these folks you have to have an uncritical view of what they do, their ideas, and their opinions.

Well not for me. Perhaps if you want to stress the inclusive nature of jazz --everybody fits in somewhere--perhaps. A Closer examination of your examples I think will show that geography is not destiny.

Besides did we forget Chicago? What coast are they? Or Brazil for that matter. _{Phil Fried: Friday, February 18, 2011, 1:31:28 PM}
