Many greats back then ,reading about them man6 had drug habits I was shocked even in the 50s . Many greats Live at the vanguard , I even go back to Glen Miller and enjoy ,people forget drinking was not considered a drug ,but being part of society. Greats like Mingus , Blakely, Chet Baker ,Sonny Rollins , they all contributed something .
I assumed back then Drugs was off limits I guess I was mistaken, the 60s much more so with a variety of mind benders ,which helped in creativity !!
