- Jazz is already covered in bluenote (jazz and blues), and I don't see any
- reason to split off early jazz--traffic does not warrant it. There certainly
- is discussion of Duke, Basie, Louis, etc. from time to time--if you want
- to tlak about it, just start a thread.
-
- If the intent is a pop music of that era, then see if there is enough
- interest; jazz related articles can always be cross posted. But please
- don't include jazz in the name, it would only add to the confusion.
