Real Jazz Fans have long suspected, but only now can learn the truth about the state our beloved artform.  Few have realized just how prominently DR. DJ xZONE has figured into the mix.   Thank goodness there are still a few financially well-off souls who underwrite some jazz labels and provide some remaining jazz artists (fossils and newcomers) with a forum.   Most cannot fathom the gyrations these artists must navigate in order to just play good venues.
