Of course there is room for both. I agree with Byron's views though and
Marsalis is basically a neo-bopper IMO. But he is a great trumpet player
and I enjoy the way he seems to play almost effortlessly. And he does a
mean Haydn concerto as well.

I'm sure interested in this. I have quite some klezmer recordings
(including those few sides that were cut back in the early years of this
century) but I didn't know Byron was involved as well. I recently saw a
rerun of the Perlman documentary on Klezmer. Nice stuff. Could you maybe
mention the label for which Byron recorded klezmer?
