My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... I was first exposed to jazz in H.S. Return to Forever and Weather Report to Miles’ fusion work, to Miles Quartets to ‘Trane and I was hooked. I met Chick, Wayne, Herbie, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton. The best show I ever attended was Pat Metheny in ‘77-78 Boston touring Bright Size Life. The first jazz record I bought was Where Have I Known You Before and Mysterious Traveler together. My advice to new listeners go “six degrees of separation” from Miles. Or whatever else you have in mind.

Why don't more jazz venues present the music more in line with how people live today, rather than how they lived 60 years ago?
