Woah... deja vu. Didn't we come to the conclusion last time that a scene
called "acid-jazz" was definitely on it's last legs (which is why the list
name debate has come up) but the whole thing has diversified into more
something even more interesting and generally less retro?

The Blue Note is going strong, but I don't see much in the way of jam
sessions happening there now. It's host to a whole heap of club nights,
including Metalheadz, Stealth etc and occasional live sets.
