"Acid Jazz" finally seemed to have a club dedicated to it, but alas, the
grapevine has it that ZOOT is perhaps no more. Word is that the owners have
pulled out of their deal with the Middle East. Fortunately, the promoters are
separate from the club and hopefully aj will find a new home in Philly or
else they will still be able to work out something with the Middle East.
There are a growing number of bands in Philly playing what can be considered
"aj," but the scene itself could not be considered to be thriving.

Peace Out,
Matt
