I wouldn't want to talk about the 'Death of Jazz' but one thing I noticed during the years I spent taking Jazz guitar lessons at my local college was how much of a 'Lifestyle' choice it seemed to be among people who'd started out as rock-listening hippies who'd grown older and ended up working in publishing, interior design or for the BBC.

It was like country music for arts graduates - something you 'get into' when you reach an age when you start looking a bit silly trying to play rock'n'roll. Mea culpa there, I'm afraid.
