[kj] News about Jaz - his recent work - Kurvas

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Well, Jaz's music has certainly made *my* little world better a better 
place.

Don't get me wrong, I am actually very happy for him and I'm definitely 
a part of the "Coleman is a living genius" fan club -- just wondering if 
it's rather odd that he's been "anti-system" for so long, only to find 
himself becoming officially sanctioned by the powers-that-be. I'd like 
to see someone ask this to Jaz in an interview, see what he thinks of it.
