E.C.F.A.: Jazz Is Dead!
So proclaimed local record store/indie stronghold Sound Exchange
in a series of snide promotions aimed at Ken Burns' snub of modern jazz.
Joining the crusade is saxophonist Carl Smith, who leads a duo and trio
on an assault of local clubs, record stores, coffee shops, and theatre houses
in an exhaustive effort to share a vision of absolute musical freedom
that continues to pump fresh blood into the heart of jazz.
