Survival Guide
In This Chapter
� Checking on artist and tour information
� Surveying different venues
� Getting great seats
� Minding your manners at a concert
� Clubbing around the world
One thought may haunt you as you get older: You have only so much time
on earth, so you better make the most of it. If you’re into music, this
means you must spend your time as carefully as you spend your money. If
you want the best that your time can buy, you should get out and hear as
much live music as you can, and make sure that it’s the best live music you
can find.
The purpose of this chapter is to help you have a “perfect” jazz concert experience.
Tickets aren’t cheap these days, and when you spend the time and
money to hear live jazz, you want to be sure you have a great experience.
Many things can throw a wrench in your plans:
� Performers who aren’t in peak form
� Poor sound systems
� Uncomfortable seating
� Audiences that talk too much (instead of listening)
� Lights that are too bright or that hit you right in the eyes
