I'm sure you know that there is a long history of NYC's real estate market driving artists and musicians from place to place, now we see the loss of a key foothold on the central island of Manhattan. The following press release explains the situation and the actions that are being taken. I hope you have time to read it and if you can help us either by communications of direct support or, even better, creating articles in the press there, for which we would be most grateful. Europe, which has always supported this music, has a great role to play because New York's political leadership is well aware that European (and Canadian tourists) are central to the strength of NYC's economy. Some of you are journalists, some promoters, some musicians - whatever you may be, the most important thing is that you let us know your response - we will be meeting with the city's politician's in an attempt to secure a viable venue. If we can show strong support from culturally concerned folks throughout Europe it would help us immeasurably. I am also sending this to a number of journalists who have extensive European contacts with the hope that you will forward it to your colleagues.

Beyond its own inherent value as art, new/experimental/ indie/jazz music also serves as crucial research and development for a much larger music industry- entertainment products, including music, are a major New York City export, and live entertainment in NYC is a major factor in restaurant, tourism, and hotel industries.</SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">The reason people come here from all over the world to hear music, and hire ensembles from New York to tour all over the world, derives from the unique sound of the city's music. This uniqueness derives in turn from the historic interaction between NYC's mainstream and its avant garde and other indigenous scenes.</SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">The proximity, the mutual artistic influence, the trading back and forth of players between mainstream and the avant garde is what has created the competitive advantage of NYC music- its world famous "edge." The avant garde draws from a pool of excellent professionals also working in NYC pop, classical, and mainstream jazz and rock: these are enriched by the cultural ideas of its avant garde. This "edge" brings millions in local club and restaurant business, music and film production, and tourism to New York annually, in addition to creating employment for the thousands of NYC-based musicians who tour world markets on a yearly basis.</SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">The Mostly Mozart festival is a wonderful experience for many New Yorkers. However it is neither an export nor the type of music representing New York City's musical culture abroad. Europeans can travel to Salzburg or Vienna to hear Mozart. New York's indigenous forms, however, are being presented every night of the year in cities throughout Europe, Asia and around the world. New music/experimental/indie/jazz has support abroad completely disproportionate with its profile in NYC, as even a brief visit to <A href="http://www.europejazz.net">http://www.europejazz.net</A>/, the European jazz network website will confirm. And tourists from abroad can and do travel to New York to hear this music in its local setting.</SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "></SPAN></FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">But all this depends on its having a local setting: including a viable new indie and experimental music nightly club scene. It is not only culturally barbarous, but also incredibly short-sighted economic policy that the internationally and critically recognized value of this music should be without an adequate, well-advertised, and easily accessible showcase in its place of birth: one funded well enough to be able to both nurture new talent and present established musicians.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(0, 0, 221); "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "></SPAN></FONT></DIV><X-SIGSEP style="color: rgb(0, 0, 221); "><PRE style="color: rgb(0, 0, 221); font-family: Courier New; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre; ">--
