I have a cousin, David Ross, who is an avant garde Jazz guitarist. After studying at Berklee he spent the last decade in NYC. For family reasons he moved to Aberdeen. He applied for a job with the local school system. During the interview he was told there was a vibrant Jazz community in the city. He says he was astounded of the number of gigs available.

I Googled Jazz in Aberdeen, and I was quite surprised by the number of venues listed.

Jazz may have subsided in some areas, but if Jazz is available in America's heartland - it's doing all right.
