  1. Not Perishable—Listen to Sonny Rollins’ Live at the Vanguard or Coltrane’s Blue Train a million times. Does it ever get old?
  2. Promotes Free Thinking—Inherent to the art
  3. Organic—Not processed behind the scenes or top-down by the industry. Just a bunch of cats showing up to a studio/bar one day.
  4. Locally Grown—Undeniably the greatest truly American art-form. High up in the running for greatest art-form worldwide. Ever.
  5. All natural—(Con)fusion aside, it’s almost all acoustic input.
