It is better to show the world you are happy if that is who you are .
Some of us , like myself . are not easy with that . Chris Potter, like me , looks like his wife left , his kid is in the hospital and both of his dogs just died .
Erena. like Chris, is a wonderful player, I love her . But there are horses for courses , in the US Grace will win the Triple Crown and those like me won't even place .
In every study I have seen Jazz and Classical combined are listened to by 5% of our population . Look on here , a hundred old guys are fighting over what the best Heavy Metal band was 40 years ago .and you and me over the visage of two great players .
There is a war going on against serious music and people like Grace are our heavy artillery . If she was not as authentic as she is , she'd be a lowly infantryman with a pop-gun .
Phil Woods , Lee Konitz and Frank Morgan were all Mentors to Grace .
And all three of them were what is expressed in a German Word .
