About Me
My Jazz Story
I love jazz because it is emotional & academic all at the same time.............
I was first exposed to jazz at 14 when I saw Oscar Peterson on TV.. after that, I was hooked.
I met Count Basie when I was 17 years old when he did a concert at my high school. . What a dignified Personality!
The best show I ever attended was Cannonball Adderly...
The first jazz record I bought was Listen Here by Eddie Harris...
My advice to new listeners...LISTEN!....LISTEN....LISTEN....
