I grew up in a farm town in Indiana. In the early years I played by myself, because there were no other musicians around.
From Gary Burton
I was surprised when I finally moved to Boston and the East Coast, to discover that there weren't that many vibraphone players around. And I was the only one playing with four mallets.
I was a big fan of Jim Hall as well. I liked his comping style, his accompanying. And that he played, generally, four note chords, the top four strings of the guitar.
I know of musicians who have played together for decades who hate each other. The Modern Jazz Quartet for one.
