Oh, crikey, sorry! I had forgotten. (I remember now that I was supposed to be doing an introduction to folk for CRB, too. Why do people see me as some sort of authority? I just 'know what I like', and bluff a lot.)
Dunno if I'm more advanced, I've discovered more jazz that I like, but I'm still hopelessly insecure about whether I'm listening to the right jazz, so I don't feel like I'm in a position to educate other people. I mean, basically the first rule of jazz is that you're not allowed to understand it unless you play it, and even then it's not something you can learn, it's just a gift from the Gods of Infinite Cool. Beyond that, y'know, I could just do you a tape of the stuff I like.

Or I might ask my dad for help.
