I love jazz because...It moves me
I was first exposed to jazz...as a kid by my parents record collection.
I met David Fathead Newman...
The best show I ever attended was...Blue Note 7.
The first jazz record I bought was...Feels So Good, Mangione, lol.
My advice to new listeners...GIVE JAZZ A CHANCE!
