My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... The music sets your mind free! I was first exposed to jazz... When I was a young boy My father Played John Coltrane .... Never forgot the sound of his saxophone I met Jon Faddis in the late '80s Not only a great player but a wonderful teacher as well ... Dizzy would be proud. The best show/Gig I ever attended was part of. Watching the Duke Ellington Orchestra under his son Mercer in the 1980s What a Trumpet section! The first jazz record I bought was... Grover Washington Jr. My advice to new listeners... Listen to everything there is a whole world of music to discover from Louis Armstrong to Weather Report it will speak to you !
