I've seen maybe like 2 hours total. I agree with your assessments...I do feel that jazz has had an impact to this day though. I mean look at bands like the Dead, or the Allman Bros...to Bela Fleck & Grisman...to Santana. Plus lots of new young bands like the Miracle Orchestra.

Mets sign Leyritz, Matt Franco NEW YORK (AP) - While the Mets can't find more starting pitching, they keep adding players to the competition for bench jobs. Jim Leyritz, a former postseason hero for the Yankees, and Matt Franco agreed Thursday to minor league contracts with the Mets. "Both guys will be part of the group competing for bench roles and support roles on the team," Mets general manager Steve Phillips said. Leyritz would get a $500,000, one-year contract if he makes the team plus the chance to earn $250,000 in performance bonuses. Franco would get a $462,500, one-year contract and the chance to make $37,500 in performance bonuses -- a deal identical to his contract with the Mets last year. Leyritz, 37, hit .218 with one homer and four RBIs for the Yankees last year, then was traded to Los Angeles on June 20 for Jose Vizcaino. Leyritz batted .200 for the Dodgers with one homer and eight RBIs.
