   I crave live Jazz. I am grateful to live in Louisville, which has a much more active and interesting live music scene than where I'm originally from, Oklahoma. The jazz portion of the scene seems to be hotting up lately. I haven't had this kind of music in my ears since I lived in Denver, and hung out at El Chapultepec, listening to players like Ron Miles (R.I.P). Thirty odd years ago.
