      @@davidferrara1105 I'm jealous. What an experience that must have been. We don't have anyone like these men today. They played for the love of it. You can see it on their faces when they perform. Yes, they made careers at it and had to be businessmen, and that's fine, that's part of the job. But today it seems like people put the career first and the playing second. And the product isn't the same.

    I was fortunate to see Joe Pass twice in the 80's when there was a jazz bar in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. It was called Lytes, but I'm not sure if that is the correct spelling. I also saw Tal Farlow, Herb Ellis , and Kenny Burrell at Lytes. I once asked Kenny Burrell what he did during the week when he was in a city like Toronto or Chicago. His answer was, "practice". I also got to see Barney Kessel at the now-defunct Bourbon Street in Toronto. I feel so fortunate to have seen them live.
