Re: Jazz Standards
What never cease to amaze me is the fact that many of these great jazz cats were once heroin addicts - Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Charlie Parket, Elmo Hope, Mike Stern and Scofield to name a few - long before Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee checking in and out of rehab; yet they managed to elude that notorious 'sex, drugs and rock n roll' stereotype.
Is it the ironed suits? Or the saxophone?
Anyway, Frank Zappa wasn't jazz. His style was more visceral; he played whatever the f notes he felt like doing.
