Yep, Nashville is home to tons of excellent jazz musicians, no matter what internet comment trolls like to say :) Thanks for featuring our city!

this is good to hear...been thinking of moving to Nashville and I live near Seattle and we have a great Jazz club that brings in some big names and I would hate to lose that.

Super rad.
Moving to Nashville in May, hope I can get some jazz gigs along with everything else.

That was awesome! There's a thriving jazz community in Montreal as well. That I can tell you.

Any updates on this aspect of Nashville? I still contemplating where to relocate to

@0:48 the population of New York is also about 4.5 times bigger than Nashville. So that statistic does't mean much.. nonetheless, I was ignorant to the fact of the Jazz scene in Nashville. Cool video

Can you guys come look at the jazz scene in St. Petersburg FL? I think it's incredible, some of the best players (especially bassists) I've ever seen hang out in that scene, including Duke Ellington's long time bassist. Would love to see what you guys find there.

I wish I could go from Nashville to Alabama on a 12 month road trip, I wonder how much money that would take. I wonder how many people I could meet! There's so much I could talk about, what with finding friends and family along the way, that would and could be a very desirable experience. Think about the history, the music, and the people. This summer would be so much fun if I could do something like starting a journey like that. I don't know what kind of car I would drive or who I could meet that would enjoy driving here and there with me. There are some pretty neat people out there I know who are very interested in traveling for history and music just like me!! Please like this comment if you agree!

I might just move to Nashville after I get my degree.

News to me, I didn't think jazz was thriving anywhere besides maybe jazz at lincoln center.

[johnnyz]

Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two guitar pickers in Nashville

Those jazz musicians should move a little bit further down to New Orleans to hone their skills!

Narrator Mr. McBride would do an excellent Neil deGrasse Tyson imitation

OK, OK, That's it. I am so done with Nashville, first at all, they destroyed country music with hip-hop beats and second at all, they bring THIS. What is wrong with them. This is a disgrace state in the US, I'm done with this state, I'm done, is over, is finished. Thumbs down for all the crap in this video, period.
