I don't see him (Matt Kershaw from Acid Jazz/Jazid) on my list.
There were some noise about acid jazz (the record label) getting their
own web server some time ago. I know they even had a nice plan worked
out and so, but I think nothing came out of it.

About our list, we are 444 people subscribed to the list!

I also think the scene has gotten stronger from the new directions of
styles. The retro influences we saw (from Acid Jazz Records and
others) was, in my eyes, only a sign of the weakness of the genre.

Enough meta-discussion...
