I surely wasn't a jazz guy in the 60's and early 70's through high school. But after Hendrix died and Cream broke up, the rock music scene turned in a way that no longer worked for me. I bought and listened to tons of experimental European rock and electronic music - and then I bought "In a Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew" because John McLaughlin played with this Miles Davis guy and this Tony Williams guy. Then I started buying older Miles LP's, which leads to Herbie and Wayne, and then Coltrane and Bill Evans, and eventually clear back to Bird - and then I was home!
I was lucky - I got to see people like Roland Kirk and Dexter Gordon and Mingus and Bill Evans and a host of other folks before they passed because I found out my love for jazz way back then. (I was sick when Art Pepper came to town - but I have the set he did that night on tape).
However, I still crank out rock music when the mood strikes - and lately the Who have been played a lot here.
Your brain is doing just fine - go with it. Saxophones and guitars rule.
