As a newbie to Acid Jazz and this digest, I would like to suggest that we
keep all the categories as listed. I know that Johan posted this remove
list yesterday..but I think there's merit in hearing folks opinions about
the different genres in Acid Jazz. I also appreciate the club
information..local or not. Speaking of clubs I'm here in Indianapolis..so
if anyone knows of good clubs/record shops/bands in the Midwest (Chicago,
St. Louis, Indy etc) to check out...please let me know.
Stuff I'm listening to honor the new year
Curtis Mayfield - Live in Europe
Paul Weller - Anytime you Want Me
Dave Brubeck - Live from the Blue Note
Carleen Anderson - True Spirit
Motown Christmas Album (this will probably come off tomorrow when the
decorations get put away)
Peace, Lisa
