Record business? What record business? Wake up and smell 2015: the entire record business is now irrelevant. Today, musical artists make their living touring. (I would say "playing live,", but so many touring musicians merely mime to backing tracks that the term "playing live" is largely inaccurate.) The way to survive in the music biz today is to get your ass out in front of people and perform; being a jazz fan, this does my heart good, since nothing can substitute for the direct communication between an artist and a live audience, and on that basis, ol' Neil can still compete with the best of 'em.
