There
are more guys than girls in jazz.
Next-to-no
lady trumpeters (oh, there are a few)
but
it doesn't matter because, for me, jazz trumpet is all about one guy
Miles
Davis.
He
made this famous album in 1959
called
Kind of Blue
which
is kind of, always,
how
I feel.
That
album gets into your bones
goes
and goes
starts,
hesitates, reaches out, feels
gor
the music, the sound, the thing you want to change
always
grasping for the unattainable makes you
kind
of excited,
kind
of sorry.
