I think Israel Stein was talking about the Big Band I play in when he wrote about "...poorly maintained instruments, poorly trained and under-rehearsed musicians, small, darkly lit venues..." I had a good laugh. We resemble that remark. I'll tell my band members that we truly are "HIP" when we pull out those hot tunes from 1932: "Historically Informed Performers".
