Granted it's been a gazillian years since I lived in the Detroit area, but although I understand DetroitPole's position, but if the object is to keep the club open, maybe a pseudo-jazz booking policy is needed in order to allow for [[or afford) the booking of true "jazz" acts. This is a policy that Dimitirou's Jazz Alley has followed in Seattle for years.....

....that has allowed the club to remain viable. A purity booking policy doesn't do any good if you can't keep the doors open.
