As someone who has been to Savannah six different times over the past two years for jazz gigs, I can fully back this. I am currently working on a jazz set with LSDJ to record for my next album. My trombone playing is up to par, but I need to get a bit better at trumpet before I can record it all.

there are a few people doing music in charleston, and you already mention atlanta.  atlanta would be your closest for shows i think...

you should probably orient your audience to the SCAD kids, they'll be more receptive possibly.  people i've known go there are very open-minded, about music as well

well hell, i hadn't even CONSIDERED the audience in SCAD, kitsch. that might actually work.
