My five year old was less thrilled than I hoped when I played a jazz Christmas CD. Maybe it was the 20 minute bass solo in "Jingle Bells."

I've considered giving myself a cool sounding nickname.

I've come to realize it's probably wrong and would upset most jazz purists that my local library has a Barry Manilow CD in its jazz collection, near CDs by Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk

I learned Sonny Rollins is a Mets fan.

I called someone a "cat."

I know who Elvis Costello's wife is.

I refer to my job as a "gig."
