It certainly has no trouble attracting international musicians, but no amount of bravado can hide the empty seats and the subdued responses. I may not know much about Jazz, but I know that there should be a buzz about it. Given more publicity this place could be hot.

Jazz is hard to pin down. There is a style for you, you just haven't heard it yet. I love them all ...even Bebop which is the fast noisy one...if I have a favorite it is Smooth jazz which does not need to be linked with Starbucks..try artists such as Chris Botti, or Dave Koz...great stuff!

It reinvents itself continually. Jazz with prefixes are genres of music. Dixieland Jazz, Bebop Jazz, Swing Jazz, Cool Jazz and even (ugh)Starbux Smooth Jazz are defined. Thus they never can change. A new jazz appears; it doesn't sound like these others but people know it is jazz. It's new and differnt and probably pushes the limits of music in some way.
