Orpheus, I guess it all came with lots of listening, when
I hear someone 'good', playing some instrument on some album, I try to find more of his music. I would like to think that I have a 'good ear', but you would not want to hear me singing... Also I read about jazz and its protagonists. Years ago it was not so easy to find many albums in shops, I would often travel abroad and than serach for some editions. Now its easier with internet, but aldo the music is more accessible, it looks to me that jazz is still 'terra incognita' for younger generations, which is great pity.
Here is another great guitar player that has recorded only one solo album, Billy Bauer 'Plectrist'...
