Nice, Martian.
But, no, can't say I remember where I was when I heard that Kurt Cobain was dead.
I didn't start listening to jazz until I was in my early '20s and stumbled upon a local college radio station's jazz show. I became obsessed with listening and reading about jazz musicians. For about a year that was all I listened to. I still listen to jazz alot and have a special fondness for the playing and vocalizations of Louis Armstrong.
Oh, and you're right about the dearth of women in jazz music, even today...not sure why that is.

A little addendum to my previous post: In those days I never owned a disco album (or cassette  ). I was a rocker chick and would never have even considered owning one. Disco was just for dancing.

Very well, then. Your secret's safe with me.
I never subscribed to that rock vs. disco mandate. I was like, 12, I didn't have to. I loved them both!
