Story of the Day
I love jazz because it has allowed me to find my own voice. I was first exposed to jazz as a child through my parents. The best show I ever attended was Cassandra Wilson and Dianne Reeves. AMAZING!!! The first jazz record I bought was “Carmen Sings Monk.” My advice to new listeners is to listen with your heart and feel with your experiences.
