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?
