Thanks to Steve Cerra of Jazz Profiles for asking me a few questions by email, and letting me go on and on.<\/a> Of course my answers are far from comprehensive, opinions are only my own, and I cited only a few of dozens of my favorites of record albums (no non-jazz music noted, for instance) and musicians from everywhere I’ve been inspired by one way or another.<\/p>\n

It seems\u00c2\u00a0immodest not<\/em> to post this, especially since it’s been published today, my birthday.<\/p>\n
