And then there's jazz....

[Navy Chief]

David Benoit is one of the best, I think.

I had a ticket to see him on Guam in 1994, and somehow managed to misplace it. Never found the ticket, and didn't get to see him perform. That was a very bad day.

Here is him playing "Beat Street"

and an oldie but a goodie; Kenny G, and "Midnight Motion"

Speaking of GW Jr., and Freddie Hubbard: these are standards of jazz!

Got to meet Billy Cobham around '86.
Went to see him at a drum clinic at a school.
My buddy and I found an open door at the place early and snuck in. Kept following the sound until we found ourselves standing backstage on the side of the stage while Billy was warming up and doing a sound check! Nobody said a word to us. We just acted like we belonged there and had a front row seat. :applause:

I first started listening to Billy Cobham, way back in the early 70s, with his release, "A Funky Thide of Sings".....

Great LP.

Ya'll need to go to Naw'lins! Jazz everywhere, the entire Bourban Street area rings of jazz, on the streets, in the bars, Jazz. I love all genres of Jazz.
It's loose, yet it's tight. It's pure and it's free!
