The Los Angeles jazz scene, in spite of occasional rumors to the contrary, is vibrant and eclectic, though admittedly, also quite far flung. No hoppin' on the “A" train to the Village; out here jazz lovers spin their odometers drivin' from Hollywood to Studio City, from downtown LA to Long Beach, in search of hip and ...
