Today one of my bosses was getting ready to leave early for the day. Some of us at work were standing around talking as she was getting ready to leave, and we asked her, "where are you going?" She said she was leaving early cause she had a long drive ahead of her to Kansas City (we're in Denver).
On the way out she said half jokingly "anybody have any suggestions for good music to listen to for a road trip to Kansas City?" I quickly replied, "if you're goin to Kansas City, you gotta listen to Charlie Parker."
Needless to say I got a bunch of blank stares from everyone in the room. You could hear crickets chirping in the aukward silence while everybody waited for a punch line to my retarded suggestion. It was another moment that happens from time to time where you feel a little lonely as a jazz fan.
Anyway, I'm not tyring to start a profound discussion. Just wanted to vent to some folks who would understand.....
