I used to listen to bebop-style jazz while I was in college, but now all music I listen to is played while I am doing something else so it can't be something that demands attention, only invites it. The only kind of jazz I listen to now is the cool stuff that transports you to a lonely metropolis after midnight while it's raining. And something is going on that is making you want to hit the hard stuff.
