Musicians and the Power of Polite Persistence
A few weeks ago I went back to a venue that I was the program director at for 3 years. The band playing that night was a jazz trio called “Apartment 5." I realized that the bassist Paul is the perfect example of polite persistence, because it took almost a year for me to first book ...
