Atlanta tweets

Much has been written about Terry Teachout's now infamous column Can Jazz Be Saved?, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on August 9. Bloggers have dissected Teachout's arguments — NPR's A Blog Supreme has a nice list of the various reactions — but nobody has proposed a way to actually prove him wrong. Now, a call to action. Writer Howard Mandel is encouraging jazz lovers and twitter users to tweet concert reviews. So if you find yourself at Churchill Ground or Studio 281 this weekend, take a few minutes to long onto your computer and wax poetic about jazz in the city.
