You beat me to it Gazza. Just about to post it. I don't think you can quibble too much with teh ticket prices. Look at the lineup....and I'm going to assume all proceeds go to charity. Hopefully it'll be filmed our broadcast live somewhere.

I wonder what the old jazzers and blues guys would have thought if you told them, 50 or 60 years ago, that their music would one day be for the wine-and-cheese set!

Yes I knew about this but was trying to keep it quiet because The Apollo only holds about 1500 seats. I'll try to get into this show if I can be lucky enough to score a ticket. This is one venue I wont try to stand outside and buy one off the street, it's too risky. I bet many of the tickets are going to insiders. I may have a snowballs chance in hell but I'm going to ready on TM as soon as they go on sale!

It's a tall order but possible Bitch.
I got a 3 friends willing
to work TM for me when ticket on sale,
plus I'm on nerves here waiting for confirmation
from "HowlingforHubert/ Jazz Foundation Of America"
good luck.

Well I was only able to pull $1000 tickets, and I cant swing that kind of dough, so I cant go. But dammit at times like this I wish I was rich! This show is going to be memorable, epic. I'm jealous, but happy for you cops!

tough one...$1000 is a lot of dough for sure.......hopefully a recording is done with DVD release etc.....always tough when so many acts are involved though.....at the very least maybe a good boot comes out from this if a decent taper can grab a seat.....
