Re: Rebuttal to All About Jazz article that never got published!
by jazzcat
Hi LeRoy My name is Janmei (jan may') and i've been concerned with the state of KLON/KJZZ for a long time--increasing concern as the years advanced. i was web surfing and curiously ran across your JazzCat article rebutting the "All About Jazz Article." i similarly fell upon a local Long Beach newspaper letter to the editor the other day by Susan Valot refuting a misquoted directive to Nick Roman. These articles confirmed my suspicions that there is discord at the station and i just wanted to offer you my support and share that i greatly respect your choice to take the "high road." i've not been keeping abreast of the particulars, but i am getting a "feel" for the happenings over there. i communicated directly to PDs and membership personnel over the years about the station's musical integrity, particularly regarding a couple of key DJs who's knowledge and understanding of the music remains shallow despite their self-aggrandizing misrepresentations and, more importantly, their clout in making/breaking artists. At the risk of sounding elitist, Disney and TV/Broadway show programming themes and similar scheduling options have bothered many of us "purists" in the listening community for quite some time. I stopped paying membership dues a couple of years back as a result. I truly miss your presence, as well as Alfredo Cruz's (although i preferred your tastes to his) and am pleased that Sam Fields is still on board. i will check in with the Jazz Cat on occasion, please let me know if there are any community activities for which you solicit support in the name of Jazz. Thanks for allowing me to share--janmei
