I was 'into jazz' back in the mid to later '60's.....junior high into high school, while others were all about the 'bubble-gum' pop music...
Coltrane, Mann, Gillespie.....names since faded from memory, but re-aligned my ears until the shock waves of the 'Summer of Love' and all that jazz....;)
Had a 'music appreciation' class in jr. hi....mentioned jazz to the instructor and she looked at me like I'd turned into a gnome....
Classical fans were like that....
