Are some of us cultish in our beliefs

I'm Irridium Jazz Club groupie and other live performance venues.
It's located @W51St & Broadway in NYC.

I've been there on Carla Bley, Oregon, Jack DeJonette, Charlie Haden and many more jazz artists.

My other favourite rock hangout had went out of business which is Bottom Line Cafe on W4 & Mercer Sts.

The equipment they use basicaly doesn't matter since more of the sound you hear live and part through EV speakers.

The best acoustic venue I've been so far is Radio City Music Hall at Rockefeller Ctr NYC.

Marty,
Les Paul is still there every Monday but I'm more onto the avantgarde such as Sun Ra which could be also heard in this venue once in a while.
I could also be an ECM label(including Watt) groupie since I always follow their new releases and got plenty of old ones numbering near or above 100 on CDs and records. I even don't pass their compilations. The spelling of E C M was always for me pronounced as MUSIC.
