My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...I can close my eyes and play
I was first exposed to jazz...by high school friends
I met [joe henderson]...and studied with him!
The best show I ever attended was...herbie hancock, mwandishi, zellerbach, berkeley
The first jazz record I bought was...woody herman, 'heavy exposure'
My advice to new listeners...listen with headphones
Or whatever else you have in mind.
