Thought Discovery: Drummer Nate Smith's gig at Missy Lane's got me thinking: it's a standing only gig, implying dancing to his funkish music &--maybe this is where jazz of a new form can reunite with dancing? Given this YouTube performance--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXpL9F78rEo--I'm sure how danceable this style of Smith is. I could be wrong. I'd have to see if ML's puts up some video of the Friday or Saturday crowd. More thoughts tomorrow on ML's & how to make a "jazz" venue a go with a constant amount of "not exactly jazz."

Semi-discovery: Having a cold, I didn't get to Missy Lane's last night. My one source said it was a memorable evening, a minor issue being noise from the equally packed bar for quiet numbers. If ML is open during the week or in the evening, I'll check it out.
