Another example is a concert that juxtaposes entire universes of trumpet concepts. An Aug. 24 billing will showcase Jeremy Pelt, a gifted 28-year-old with a classic ballad style, and an ensemble led by Graham Ashton, a middle-aged Briton whose group boasts several leading symphonic brass players. We try to pair up things you would not likely see on the same program, ... We want to take categorization out of the whole presentation. If you want to have any kind of future at all, this is how you do it.

We want to blur all the lines, ... It's easy for people to put things in a box. When events like this are institutional, it's the death of something that could have had some interesting possibilities.Jon Nelson
Most performances, however, will not benefit from marquee billing. A lot of people are playing for the door receipts, ... which means they will end up playing for nothing. But the draw is that they have a forum where they can play whatever they want. There are no restrictions.

Also there's two sides of it, I mean, a band like us, at our level and the way we have to promote ourselves and usually radio just completely turns their back on us, at the same time I think Mp3s help promote us somewhat, spreading the word about the album and stuff.
