Jazz Etiquette

This series aims to help the jazz novice or aficionado to more fully understand the creative life tension that is the jazz musician. We’ll shed a dimly lit candle on the interactions between those who have embraced endless practicing of their musical craft for the opportunity to play late at night in smoky, poorly ventilated, venues for next to zero pay in front of a dedicatedly indifferent audience.

The wisdom that is about to be imparted to you is drawn from the works of Stephen Howard, and his series of writings, Notes from a small workshop, anecdotes and musings from the workbench.

So sit back, pop your fingers, and listen to a guide for better living as told from from the perspective of the jazz musician.
