Evil Jazz is the opposite of smooth jazz.
The real thing is sometimes so underground, it's practically invisible.
THE EVIL JAZZ NETWORK is a forum for music lovers as well as musicians. Feel free to recommend records, gigs, artists, and maybe join an evil jazz crew.
======================================================================
Smooth jazz confuses the masses into thinking jazz is just weak, yuppie make out music. This loose network reclaims jazz as the vital art form it is.
Using punk rock's tactics of supporting the underground with zines, online clubs, activism, and parties: this group is to dedicated to making jazz cool again.
The Evil Jazz Network is well known for getting the Yanni and Kenny G out of the "jazz section" in chain record stores as well as forming New Orleans style crews who throw wild jazz raves on Friday nights.

Who I'd like to meet: ! Anyone curious about what jazz is, was, and what it's about to be.
Activities include:
1) Picking out a jazz gig and meeting up there. Text your friends, it's fun!
2) Hosting Friday night jazz parties. Socialize and play records. Chill out and have fun. Have a drink.
3) Cleaning house to jazz. This was started with art students cleaning and painting to Sun Ra. It actually makes scrubbing the floor more interesting. It caught on, it's what we do. Go figure.
4) Connecting with each other online. Throughout the years, many different evil jazz forums were formed, but SPACE is the place. So here we are.

9/11: Time for a Second Look: "...so besides carrying forward our present activities, we should also do everything we can to bring more scientists into the movement and to build up the size of Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Intelligence Officers for 9/11 Truth, and especially Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth---because this is now what is most needed: Pressure from political leaders around the world to authorize a new, truly independent, investigation, through which the truth about 9/11 can be revealed, so that the policies based upon the Bush-Cheney conspiracy theory can be completely abolished" David Ray Griffin
