My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...Every performance is different, and there are so many sides to jazz.
I was first exposed to jazz...By my father. He was a piano player and accordionist, and when I was young I remember when he brought home "Time Out" by Dave Brubeck. Listening to
anything else was kind of boring in comparison after that.
I met [musician name]...Dizzy Gillespie , David Garfield, David Benoit, Allan Holdsworth, Ernie Watts, Jeff Hamilton, John Clayton, Tom Scott, Alan Pasqua, Airto, Alex Acuna, Louie
Bellson. And many more .
The best show I ever attended was...John Daversa Progressive Big Band ; Live Recording session of Kalidescope Eyes album.
The first jazz record I bought was... Tony Williams Lifetime
My advice to new listeners... Just keep your ears open. There is so much out there.
Or whatever else you have in mind.
