Thread Name: 'Roma' or 'Gypsy' Jazz?
Subject: RE: 'Roma' or 'Gypsy' Jazz?
If I was King of the World or had anything personal at stake (neither of which is anywhere close to being the case), I would say that if you must adopt this sort of name then at least make it be "Romani Jazz" rather than "Roma Jazz."
"Roma" simply does not work grammatically nor is it very satisfactory to use by people of and knowledgeable about the ethnic community.
