I got out some old Paul Desmond recordings recently and that led me back to Brubeck, Morello and others, the musicians who caused me to skip rock 'n roll for a decade or two, until my first teenage son re-introduced the genre to our house.
With a bit more experience, I might learn to enjoy all streams of rOcK.
And the same is true for me for jAzZ Norm.
