No you shouldn't feel bad, it's something I've known and have personally been told by some jazz educators before. The heaviest of hitters never went to school and look at what they did? It makes one wonder the wonders of heroin though. I don't know that I'd ever go that far, but it makes one curious that's for sure.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

I think Heroin was more a side effect of the culture not a cause of good music. I never heard any great talk about it as an enabler.

LSD on the other hand... Ornette and Coltrane both did a lot of it, and praised it's effects.
