As a counterpoint, I have noticed a renewed interest in jazz standards over the past few years, and I often find myself playing to audiences of 20-somethings who know the words and sing along to all the old Sinatra and Bennett performed classics. Oh, I certainly get the people who want me to "bring the rawk", but oddly enough, they're more my age (40 and up). The younger crowds, at least here in L.A., seem to want to hear stuff like "Witchcraft" and "The Way You Look Tonight". If I had a dollar for every time some "kid" in a fedora or a table full of young ladies yelled, "More Sinatra!"...

Sounds good to me. Here in Florida they don't ask for that.

That's really interesting. It's seemed to me for a long time that there is a lot more interest in jazz in Europe than here in the country where it originated. Seems a little ironic to me that some of my favorite swing and gospel arrangements were done and even published in Europe.

In my all too infrequent trips to the UK and Europe (England, Scotland, Wales, Netherlands, Italy, and Hungary) I've noticed more interest in Jazz than here in the USA.
I also notice that the audiences in Europe tend to listen to the music more intently than the audiences in the US. It seems that most of people in Europe go for the music and most of the people in the US go for the event.
Our weekly, weather permitting, outdoor gig is today, and it's supposed to be 72F with no chance of rain!!!!!!!!!

Yep. It comes down to this. If you want to have live music in your community, you have to support live music in your community.
And that doesn't mean only once or twice a year, it means weekly.

Being a musician is not what I do, it's what I AM.
I always like to say "I didn't pick music it picked me"
