I thought it would be good to learn about the listening habits of some of the young jazz musicians I heard at the Viking Jazz Festival last month, so I E-mailed their band directors and contacted them. Several of them replied with answers to these questions:
- When did you start listening to jazz music?
- How much listening do you do every day?
- Who are your top two or three favorite jazz players...and why?
- When you're listening to something for the first time - something you haven't checked out before - what are you listening for? What's your approach?
- How much is listening to jazz a part of your daily practice regimen?
I'll be back later this week. You have been listening on your own...right?
