But all in all, jazz record markets being only a few percents of the whole music buying audience, it stays relatively small.
which I don't think is a bad thing. it just means the clientele is smaller. if you go into a certain kind of music that historically only works to a smaller crowd, you shouldn't complain that Michael Jackson -- who I think has made some fantastic records, BTW -- is getting a bigger market share than you. BAR KOKHBA was definitely a lucky strike for Zorn, and he deserves whatever $'s come his way. But I think 35,000 is not something we can all really shoot for. Personally, I always feel lucky when my records sell enough to pay for themselves. skip h
