All that jazz





I am trying to avoid beginning a post with the word ‘I’, and thoroughly failing.

So, while I’m at it, let me say…

I am currently searching for a new jazz sound to anchor my old age in.

Throbbing guitar riff, soulful sax solo, rippling piano chord-set?

What I did find in my search was one of the great realities of musicdom in today’s hyper-digital leading to virtual reality age.

Jazz as a genre in terms of musical sales is dying.

Jazz as an experience in terms of ‘live’ performance is alive and kicking.

For the numbers, read this.
