My Jazz Story

I love jazz because of the way it makes me feel... free to me, to be expressive, takes me to good places. I was first exposed to jazz by my mother who had musicians visit such as David "Fathead" Newman, Gene Ammons I met jazz musicians at the very early age of 5. The best show I ever attended was a solo piano concert by Greg Spero, who is 28 years old and one of the most amazing pianists, keyboardists out here. The first jazz record I bought was a vintage Miles Davis record I found. My advice to new listeners is be open to the experience. Jazz is unlike any other music that I know. It can make you introspective, irrespective and overly protective to its genre!
