Apparently the Christmas Jazz Jam was a free event held on the Millenium Stage.  So there was no revenue lost.  

If anyone questions you about political content, say, " I don't recall."  

1975 recording with a superb Beirach/Holland/DeJohnette rhythm section.  

This is a somewhat elusive album in Joe Newman's catalog. Very tasty small group swing. It was originally issued on Jazztone as New Sounds in Swing. Also released as Byer's Guide by the Billy Byers Sextet. There was a Fresh Sounds CD of this, somewhat pricey and hard to find now. For now I'm listening to a cheap download from Apple Music.
