I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I'm just offering my opinion as a contrast to the other points of view. I just think that the Jazz series could have been a lot better without being more esoteric.

NOTHING would make me happier than to make Jazz docs. I have a friend who's a major expert on the Jazz avant-garde who I've discussed this with a number of times. He has an idea he'd like to try and develop, but it's very hard to get films on Jazz funded.

I'm hoping to do a series of multi-photo portraits of Jazz artists on the photography side of my work. I'm working on some pilots for the approach and will then apply to NEA for funding to do a group of Jazz artists using a similar approach.

larger ones of course, would contribute to your jazz documentary project?
These days, with DVD distribution over the web, you can make $$ with niche subjects.
I mean, there is a very good documentary on old, 78 disc era opera divas which has been successful, moderately. Talk about a hard sell!

  I doubt there's a small jazz label that isn't struggling to stay alive. I'd be very surprised if they'd be able to contribute. Who knows? Eventually I may ask them.
