I happened across this by chance today. It was playing in the background for a while as I prepared a meal and it slowly but confidently took hold of my attention.

You’re playing a blinder at driving these diseased AFR mob back to where they came from, WTB. Jazz to a gobshite is like sunlight to Dracula. I will give this Coltrane number a twirl when I’ve finished listening to Try Try Try by The Smashing Pumpkins.

The king of understated cool, with a voice like candy… but like many jazz greats, one tragic motherfucker.

whats the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist?

The rock guitarist plays 4 chords for 10,000 people
and a jazz guitarist plays 10,000 chords for 4 people.
