RE: [Harp-L] Jazz

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Put me in George (no nickname) Brooks. I play at jazz. I do play always in 
an improvisational, in the moment manner. And always from an (self) 
educated, somewhat enlightened viewpoint.

I love jazz. I want little to do with music that is not in a jazz 
(improvisational) spirit.
