Im always trying to find connections between things. That art is the juxtaposition of a lot of things that seem unrelated but add up to something recognizable.

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.

If you plan on continuing a tradition, it might be a good idea to find out just what tradition it is that you intend to continue.

My first relationship to any kind of musical situation is as a listener.
