There's almost nothing better than listening to live jazz in a smoky club late at night, but I have a peculiar aversion to listening to jazz otherwise. I think it has something to do with the fact that no recorded jazz can measure up to the real deal. I got spoiled a long time ago by just happening to be in Toronto for the jazz festival about 15 years ago and nothing measures up to watching some of the best jazz musicians in the world jam at 4 in the morning while slamming imported beers and smoking good cigars.
