Perhaps it is merely a business proposition, but I know that in my case, I purchased it and got a hell of a lot out of it. Is there any reason that this particualr business transaction shouldn't have been possible? Buying a CD or paying a ticket price is a business proposition.

Are you skeptical about the acreditation of only certain approaches that lend themselves well to being institutionalized?

Do you think it's bad for the art?

Quite a few players I went to school with are playing differently than we were 'taught' to. And it's not like we all had to play exactly the same.

I'm going to give some thought to this. It's unlikely I can be really unbiased about it. Post-secondary jazz programs have been very good to me. But, as usual, I'm curious about the operating principles, and I want to know why people think what they think.

Thanks Yodi.

Come on you others too, don't be shy! What's right and what's wrong with jazz in the colleges and universities...
