I did chuckle when i noticed the album cover is of a very small audience.
a humourous comment on the appeal of this kind of jazz?
Kind regards
Dave Rich
About the popularity–maybe so.
Generally this type of jazz is played in a more intimate setting, anyways, hence less people. Have you guys been to Birdland or Village Vanguard? Two of the most legendary places for Jazz and they’re not very large. When everybody is there for the show, you feel like you are in somebody’s basement.

the blue note is very similiar
Interesting sound… it’s going to take a listen or three before these ears can get used to that sound. But I’m sure I’ll get into it; I enjoyed the Marilyn McPartland jazz piano CD. It will be a great learning experience. I’m sure Bruce will educate me once again as he has so many times along his musical path.
Just pre-ordered mine via the link from Si’s front page. Here’s the complete track listing from Amazon (I don’t think we’ve listed this here in the forum before):
CAMP MEETING
1. Questions and Answers
2. Charlie, Woody and You/Study #22
3. Solar
4. Death and the Flower
5. Camp Meeting
6. Giant Steps
7. Celia
8. We’ll Be Together Again
9. Stacked Mary Possum
10. Straight, No Chaser
11. Un Poco Loco/Chant Song/Un Poco Loco/Chant SongAmazon also lists “Bruce Hornsby’s List of Music You Should Hear” on a related link. I never knew Bruce was inspired to write “Sticks and Stones” by listening to Radiohead’s “Everything in Its Right Place” from the album, “Kid A.” Some other nice recommendations from Bruce there as well.
