Most of the people I play Jazz with, I have met through formal music education at University of Sussex, University of Glamorgan and Trinity college.
All of my current band have been through a formal Jazz qualification and I have studied Jazz on a regular weekend course for the last 10 years...

The clip just highlighted many peoples' misunderstanding of the music and reminded me of my lost friend. I'm also proud of your accomplishments Bruce.

i.e. a complete, valid, solo using all the notes you ought to avoid at that point in time!
