I'm not to sure where the reference of Reed saying the little bit about the
sixteen year old learning jazz. I'm not even to sure if this is what you are
talking about, but here it goes! I am 16 and I have been playing jazz for
about 2 years. I'm said to be the best jazz artist at my school. To tell you
the truth, I really couldn't tell you one thing about cord changes or dorian
modes or any of that stuff. I think that to be a good jazz player, you have
to 1.LISTEN!!! All I do is listen to other cd's of jazz greats, and 2. Play
what fits, not only with the style but with the key. Jazz improve is an
expression of yourself and thats that.
