With the realization that there will always be more music coming at him than he can keep up with, John wonders why anyone would think that jazz is dead or dying.Ottawa is typically considered to be a conservative place when it comes to jazz, but Vandermark 5's potent performance on a cold night in February proved that there's an audience for this kind of music here. Hopefully the success of the show will make it clear that, as long as the word gets out, the kind of intrepid, expansive and forward-reaching music played by bands like Vandermark 5 has a place in the Ottawa music scene.
