Fred,
You should be subscibing to Reed Kottler's jazz discussion list.
Your question would get a better response there. I *think* you need
to send a message saying "subscribe discussion-l" to
listserv@-----. If that doesn't work contact Reed Kottler at
reed@-----. You
could also check out his web pages http://www.justjazz.com which
includes links to everything that has ever been posted to the list.

See you there,
Ian.
