 * Weak keep: The term has long been in use, sometimes stretched towards any small group jazz (e.g. the use of the term in Gunther Schuller's book on the Swing Era), more commonly in the 1950s (such as Chico Hamilton's groups), then ECM Records in the 1970s, and through to the present day, as evidenced in frequent use in The Wire and organisations like a Chamber Jazz Society of Baltimore. That said, I am uncomfortable with the vague inclusiveness in the current article (Zappa?), but maybe better in (and subject to improvement) than out. AllyD (talk) 20:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I removed several names, I fear some valid, from the list portion. The valid ones can be returned on sourcing if this survives.--T. Anthony (talk) 16:34, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep as per AllyD -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:35, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I did some searching through Google books and Google scholar, and a couple of entries came up. Most of them were trivial, but the book AllyD found did have some decent coverage of chamber jazz throughout. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:23, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdraw. i dont afd just for having no refs, but 8 years seemed a lot. Should i have searched? probably. I could have also redirected w/o comment, so at least people had a chance to comment. we have enough refs now to put this beyond being only a dictionary definition. the quality can be discussed on the talk page.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * In fairness I guess I actually created this article and I grant I should have done a better job improving it. Referencing standards I think were weaker eight-years ago, but I'd had time since then. I'm at times disappointed articles I've made sometimes just languish like that, embarrassingly even from my attention, until maybe they get an AfD. But that's the breaks of having obscure interests I suppose.--T. Anthony (talk) 12:52, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
