About Me
My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...it expresses the inexpressable, and is a 110% American phenomenon, in the making. I was first exposed to jazz...by listening to jazz radio at age 17, James Moody’s flute mastery in his rendition of Mancini’s Pink Panther Theme. I met [musician name]...Bootsy Collins, and he said, “Keep it funky on the 1.” The best show I ever attended was...a Nashville improvisational jam performance by the Reggie Wooten band, at 12 & Porter. The first jazz record I bought was...The Inner Mounting Flame
