There’s something missing among the selection of artists I’ve chosen to share. Every so often it hits me I don’t have nearly enough jazz to properly represent my personal tastes.

For those of you that have met me, this may come as a surprise that I happen to own a couple John Mayer albums. Honestly, most of his music is too mainstream for me which is why it came to me as a surpise when I heard him say Stevie Ray Vaughan was one of his biggest influences. I didn’t buy it for a second… that is until I heard TRY! - John Mayer Trio Live In Concert.
