[Title] => 10,000 hours in the woodshed
[Summary] => They say jazz music ain’t cheap. It costs a lot — musicians spending decades in the woodshed, practicing, busking on street corners, or playing in crummy, low-lit clubs, trying to be heard above the chatter and clink of long-neck bottles.

[Title] => Jazz apologies
[Summary] => If you were to ask the six-year old me to define "jazz", he’d probably only say that it was that tune they’d always play during the English-language weather reports (no pun intended). If you asked the 13-year-old me, he’d probably say, Kenny G. Even if you asked a decade later, that me would know about Miles Davis, John Coltrane and John McLaughlin but he’d still derisively sneer at the "light jazz" being played ad nauseam at that now happily-defunct version of 88.3.

There’s not much rambling verbosity among members of the Affinity jazz group, perhaps because their best conversation happens when their music is being played. Such is the interplay and level of "affinity" in this progressive jazz quintet that has been making waves lately in Manila’s tightly-knit but rather sluggish jazz community.

[Title] => Smooth jazz from Affinity
[Summary] => 
Although the skill and artistry of the Filipino jazz musician compares favorably with the best from other parts of the world, I still believe jazz music does not go well with the Filipino soul. It is like milk or cream eaten with mangoes. People combine the two all the time, think ice cream, and the mixture is delicious. But beware, because a bum stomach will haunt you for days.
