The Greatest Teacher Is Just Going Out

Of Course We've Lost So Many Superstars Who've Made Jazz What It Is. We've Lost So Many Musicians Who Created New Things And Changed The Way We Think About Music And Who Took Jazz To A New Level. So Jazz Is Suffering From That. But We Still Have A Lot Of Incredible People Playing Jazz In The World. We Have A Lot Of People Leading The Way.

I Listen To Other Guitar Players, Yeah. It Gives Me New Concepts And Shows Me Where The Instrument Is Going For The Future And It Is Going Some Places. There Are Some Musicians Who Are Really Putting Out A Good Vibe With New Theories. I Try And Keep Up.
