I grew up in a Jazz history book.
My mom made a big pot of pasta for the hungry teens who were at our house playing music.
Bobby Timmons, Ted Curson, Tootie Heath, Garrison and a bunch of kids crammed into our living- room. some times the North Philly guys would come by.
We jammed........and jammed....... and jammed. We played every waking hour. I played duets with Lee Morgan, Ted Curson and many players I am sure you would not know.
Once we started working, and we got started early, we played every kind of music imaginable.
The secret is doing it. Play. Play. Play the music.
