A Jazz Date

Wow!!! I had a wonderful Jazz night. I always love live Jazz but there are very few Jazz club in Hong Kong. Plus I do not have friends to go with me (my friends find me pretentious in loving Jazz). Today I got a really fun date. He is the owner of a Jazz club. He is not handsome, not young, yet very serious without much smile on his face. But is a totally gentleman, kind and thoughtful. I arrived at 9pm when the band is practising. He introduced me to everyone in his club. They all take times to talk to me. I never have a chance to talk with the band ever at a Jazz club. But the pianist and guitar player have sit with us and chat during the break. I am so happy as if I were a little fans! The guitar player is a very cool girl. When she plays, she is very confident and very emotional. I can see she loves music very much. All others are gone... I am still sitting at the stage with a drink in my hand, enjoying her showing different music style with her guitar. When she plays "The Girl From Ipanema", the midage male bar tender with pony tail comes to the stage and starts to sing with a cigarette in his hand... His voice is not the best but it is definitely one of the best moment to me. Oh, forget to mention the privilege barbeque dinner. He brought me to see him "food flipping". Entering the gentleman restroom?! There is a door to an open air storage area where a barbeque stove lays there just like a treasure box. Borrowing the street light and high rise around us, it's a bit dark and hot while we chat. Kind of romantic though! The taste is not the best but what else can I ask for to have a steak particularly prepared for me at a Jazz club that doesn't serve food at all... I have a lovely night and I LOVE JAZZZZZZ

I don't think Jazz is pretentious at all. Jazz started as a marginal music genre.
But, uh, I undertand whta ppl think of it. Its kinda narrow-minded tho.
Nice piece,
