*Too* restricting???!!!??? This is the *least* restrictive form of music
I've *ever* heard. I would imagine that the writer of the above comment has
only had a fleeting taste of what AJ has to offer (if at all) - as evidenced
by classifying it as a 'revival'. This stuff is as new and original as it
can be. About the only thing being revived is the word 'jazz'.
