that we all treat playing jazz as this huge, monumental, Earth shaking, stress inducing event?
I read soooo many people saying " I got a jazz, gig, and am soooo nervous about......"
what is the pressure?
what makes jazz the bellweather?
it happened to me too 10 years ago when I got my first legit jazz gig. But now, I can't even remember what I was sos worked up about. And it is a WAAAYYYY easier gig than most metal and punk bands I have been in, both from a musical and logistical standpoint. Granted, we are not playing crazy, super fast, 60's Free bop/fusion etc...bbut still.
Why did we let jazz become this feared monster in our culture?
