My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...Nobody tells me what to do :)
I was first exposed to jazz...When a piano teacher gave me The Bill Evans album, Waltz for Debby

The best show I ever attended was...Joel Frahm sitting in at a Jam Session at Smalls
The first jazz record I bought was...Unfinished Business by Jimmy Smith
My advice to new listeners...Open your Mind!!
Or whatever else you have in mind.
