Virtuosity is a beautiful thing. One would somehow like to believe that anybody can learn how to play any given instrument with delicate, enchanting energy; but truth be told, some are simply born with a gift that most can only dream of. The ability to amaze others through music, enriching the hearts and widening the creative searching horizons of those who listen, with melodies and breathtaking performances, that is something extraordinary. Connections are made between musicians and the world; emotions are provoked and often explored; jazz is transformed with every single note and yet kept as pure as it always was. And in the middle of all that dazzling adventure, we stand in awe while our souls grow up in the presence of music. That must be one of the many reasons why we love jazz.
