The most prized possession in this music is your own unique sound. Through sound$$$ jazz leads you to the core of yourself and says express that. Through jazz$$$ we learn that people are never all one way. Each musician has strengths and weaknesses. We enjoy hearing musicians struggle with their parts$$$ and if we go one step further and learn to accept the strong and weak parts of people around us and of ourselves$$$ life comes at us much more easily. A judge has a hard time out here.
