The jazzers seem to me to be kind of cliquish. You can't learn anything unless you're playing with people better than you, but then the people who play better than you don't allow you to sit in with them. Another Catch-22.
A big reason I work by myself is because I can't get anyone who would want to play with me to read a chart with actual dots on it (I just wanna make my own part, maaaaan), and the people who can read can't seem to make the time of day for me and my charts (progressive rock died in the early 80s, maaaaan).
Besides, if it was good enough for Stevie, Rundgren, and McCartney to work alone, it's good enough for me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
