The first time
I remember hearing live jazz
was in college at the
visiting writers series events.
A trio opened each evening
with a set on the theatre stage
to warm up the audience
for the featured
poets and authors
reading that night.
Sure, I had
heard of jazz
and marveled at the
magical moments
when a jazz club
was included
in episodes of
The Cosby Show
when I was a kid.
But when I first
experienced it live,
there was an
internal stirring
and connection
to the combo's
collaboration and camaraderie.
I was glad to be
in the same room
with the magic making
and the makers of the magic.
