Tongue in cheekness accepted. Just worried about the generalisations that the older the better and conversely the newer the more rubbish.

I’d go with the ’stop recording’ but am worried about the ’stop creating’. So, ahem. A little compromise would achieve two activities that I support - collaboration and gatherings.

To create music and pass it on would require mucisians to work with each other learning (and possibly adapting) the music and would require audiences to come together to listen (and possibly dance ) live.

Dare me to post to jazz.com?

I worked for Ken Clarke a couple of times as a Government press officer and he was a lot more fun than most except for the last few days leading up to the Notts Forest v Spurs Cup Final when he and I were not on speaking terms, due to our conflicting football loyalties! Coffee, cigars, curry and beer were his other driving passions. Oh and politics, of course!

Thank you for educating Penang, the musicians and paving the way for R and I at G Spot. Glad you are getting recognition for it on jazz.com Sorry I did not better inform you about the situation….before you arrived. Its been a learning experience for me too.
