Thread Name: The Death of Jazz
Subject: RE: The Death of Jazz
I have been to the Kircudbright Jazz festival for the last four years. I go because bruv-in-law loves jazz. I have grown to enjoy some styles but generally it isn't my bag. My contribution is that jazz is fading but not dying. "folk" is fading too. They are both cyclicle. It is unfortunate that the cycle is degenerating for both genre. Kirkudbright four years ago was 80% sold. Last year 65% sold. I have always believed that folk and jazz are related, not in their content but in their relative popularity. It's complex init?
