I started out trying to play more straight-ahead jazz. I went to Berklee in the early ’60s when it was a brand new school, and so there was no fusion music. There wasn’t a lot of mixing together of different kinds of music at that time, so jazz was kind of pure jazz. John Abercrombie Read Quote

Paul Ryan Read Quote
