Thread Name: The Death of Jazz
Subject: RE: The Death of Jazz
Yeah, the audience clapping after every solo is tiring. You're supposed to applaud only after someone just played something awesome not for every damned solo. That happens at the Dixieland gigs a lot. I don't play those often because I can't land them. Those go to the older guys. They don't trust us young uns to play those gigs, I guess (plus they are some of the few steady paying gigs because they are under union rules).
