an American experiance, an American original

Its also amazing to me that your board member, Jim Anderson, was playing with Benny.
We hear you Eddie.
Thanks for bringing the delightful Benny Golson to town. As for the musicians who regularly perform at the Wisp, I saw just two who attended the late show of Mr. Golson, Larry Dickson and Herb Aronoff.
Jazz Alive did not promote Benny Golson to its readers. Neither did the Jazz Half run by aubrey johnson. Neither did the Jazz Advocate although Ron Gable has promoted the wisp many times so it may have been oversite. I see promotians for other clubs that present live jazz once or twice a week. The Wisp presents 9 different groups per week and we get nothing most of the time. Donald Harrison got no mention here.
Is this really the way to "advance" jazz.
If the Wisp folds don't blame the world. Don't blame Cincinnati. Blame the people who missed opportunity after opportunity to use there resources to promote the great musicians who perform concert after concert to 50 or 60 people.
