Who is the list administrator?
Jazz Vermont, Inc. Jazz Vermont was created by Byron Siegal
just after he graduated from Vermont Law School. The idea for
Jazz Vermont came out of the baseball fantasy camps and the
Vermont Law School Community Jazz Ensemble that Byron
Siegal directed from 1982-1984. Blending these two concepts into
a fantasy camp for musicians created Jazz Vermont. Byron
Siegal has been running Jazz Vermont since 1985. Jazz Vermont
is pleased to offer the BIG-BAND mailing list to the big-band jazz
community for an active interchange of ideas.
What if I'm not in a big-band now?
You're welcome to our list, but remember our discussion focuses on
big-band jazz. Other usenet facilities you might want to know about
include:
* The rec.music.classical, newsgroup;
* The rec.music.classical.performing, newsgroup:
* The rec.arts.drumcorps, newsgroup;
* The Brass Mailing List;
* The Trobmone-L Mailing List;
* The Community-Music Mailing List;
* The JazzBass Mailing List;
What else do I need to know?
* Have fun!!
* Advertising is frowned upon. You can announce that people can
get catalogues etc. but I'd rather not see wholesale advertising.
If your community group has a CD that would be fine and different
than trying to sell 500 individual CD titles none of which has any-
thing to do with community big bands.
* If commercial advertising gets out of hand I will consider
moderating the list.
How do I contact the list owner.
* Easiest way is to leave a comment at the web site:
