My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... It's very creative and played from the heart and soul of the performer. I was first exposed to jazz... By my father when I was an infant who is a jazz musician and jazz educator I met Lionel Hampton when I was about 10 yrs. old my uncle was his manager and producer. My dad performed on alto and Tenor sax with him. I later performed with Lionel when I was an adult. with Lionel I got to perform with Dizzy Gillespie. I also had met the late and great Michael Brecker and his brother Randy Brecker.
