Pianist Joe Alterman relayed a humorous story about famed jazz guitarist Jim Hall: “The other day I ran into Jim Hall on the street in front of the jazz and contemporary music building of the New School in New York. Jim was walking his dog. I introduced myself, and we ended up talking for a while. As we spoke, student musicians were walking by oblivious to who he was. Jim told me he’s rarely recognized by them anymore and asked if I’d like to see something funny.
“He walked up to a student holding a bass and asked, ‘Is that a walking bass?’ The kid just shook his head and walked away. Jim was laughing so hard. He said, ‘I do that all the time. I think it’s funny. They just think I’m a strange old man now.’
“Boy, if only that kid knew who he had just brushed off!”
Thank you for notification of this winter’s conference in Chicago. I regret that I have a conflict this year.
Please include me in all future mailings.
