          UUUUUUHHHHH I grew  up listening to Monk, John Coltrane, Herbie 
Mann (I jammed to Herbie Mann when I  was 16) Antonio Carlos...........so on and 
so forth. Whatever my Mom had I  played it on the stereo too. She loves Mose 
Allison also. I've done jazz stuff  on sax for money. I still don't read very 
fast and the fact of the matter is,  jazz just don't float my boat, can ye dig 
it? It's looks smarter to walk around  Manhattan with a Miles Davis album 
under my arm, and I like Miles believe it, I  just can't feel it when I listen to 
it. Put on some John Lee Hooker or George  Clinton for that matter and my 
mouth starts twitchin', my feet start movin, and  I have this overwhelming urge to 
get down wid it. Just me.
