Story of the Day
I love jazz because is intense, human, creative. I was first exposed to jazz by Bitches Brew a Miles Davis record. The best show I ever attended was Michael Brecker Quartet with Joey Calderazzo, James Genus and Jeff “Tain” Watts at Punta del Este Jazz Festival. The first jazz record I bought was Heavy Weather by Weather Report.
