You go into jazz knowing that there s a certain discipline or a certain way people think about it. It s true, Reeves continues. I mean, I think that you have to think it through and do the music that s in your heart and soul and present it as best you can. I think that jazz is a music that you have to experience and see live. Every time I perform there s new converts, it seems.
Jazz is very much alive.
It s thriving. There are a lot of young musicians doing a lot of wonderful things with fresh ideas. I just tell people to be open. Jazz is a music that s in the moment. It s right now.
