Jazz Demands That You Bring To It

There's More Bad Music In Jazz Than Any Other Form. Maybe That's Because The Audience Doesn't Really Know What's Happening.

Players Get To That Intermediate Level Where They Can Already Play Pretty Good, And That's Kind Of A Dangerous Period Because They Tend To Start Playing Only The Things That They Can Play, Rather Than The Things They Can't.

My Older Brother Mike Is An Excellent Trumpet Player. By The Time He Was 12, He Was Playing Around Kansas City In Classical Situations. He Was Already An Amazing Talent.

Jazz Demands That You Bring To It Things That Are Valuable To You, That Are Personal To You.

I Just Have Never Seen Anyone Build Anything Significant In Any Field Without Having A Deep And Detailed Sense Of What They Are Building On.
