From a strength standpoint, I'm pretty seasoned on the bandstand, and know lots of tunes.

On the "minus" side, I'm not much of an entertainer, and, like a lot of other "jazzers", I'm not very flexible in the type of material and kinds of jobs I'll play.

I need to realize that. for most people, jazz is confusing and not particularly pleasant to listen to.

But, practically speaking, there's probably not much I'll do about it!
