My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...jazz encompasses all. Jazz
is freedom. It is the ultimate expressive musical
conversation.
I was first exposed to jazz as an infant. I grew
up in a family of musicians. I first fell in love
with jazz when listening to Ella Fitzgerald’s scat
solo on “How High The Moon”.
I met Dianne Reeves, Chaka
Khan, Patti Labelle and more...
The best show I ever attended was...I can’t pick
a best. But, I can say that seeing Dianne Reeves
live changed my life.
The first jazz record I bought was Nancy
Wilson and Cannonball Adderley.
My advice to new listeners; Listen to
it ALL. Listen to instrumentalist, vocalists, big
bands, vocal groups.... just LISTEN.
