My mom, having sat in too many jazz clubs for her taste, wanted none of it in her house. So I came to it kind of late, and have never delved as deeply as I might have. I find some of the swing-era stuff to be more adventurous than is commonly perceived; it's not all just "dance music." And there's an undeniable safe coolness in Brubeck.<BR/><BR/>But I've had trouble getting into the more outre material - the free jazz of the AACM does almost nothing for me. Maybe I need to work at it some more.Eric Easterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535369798458596223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084144703351548082.post-43093978910507386852008-07-31T19:56:00.000-05:002008-07-31T19:56:00.000-05:00Whoooo!

Hanging around Yoshi's is a new pastime. They say Jazz makes you smarter, and of course, I'll agree agree;)2Truthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621258620190540140noreply@blogger.com
