Jazz Is Not Something That Can Be

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.

Smokin' At The Half Note Is The Absolute Greatest Jazz-guitar Album Ever Made. It Is Also The Record That Taught Me How To Play.

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.

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.

From 1962 To 1965, The Guitar Became This Icon Of Youth Culture, Thanks Mostly To The Beatles
