My Jazz Story
I was first introduced to this wonderful art
form by my late grandfather, Frank A. Masi.
Not only did he play it, he lived it. This rare
and precious soul taught me to cling to the
uniqueness of my own being, despite the
deafening scream of conformity. Like most
musicians, my grandpa also worked a day
job, but he was diligent to carve out time to
enjoy the simple pleasures in life like water
color painting, discovering new melodies on
the piano, and pondering and discussing
life's most important questions. I will forever
cherish the memories of us enjoying a cup of
coffee while exchanging our ideas on
philosophy in cozy book stores in St.
Petersburg, FL. Frank spoke of being your
true self and continuing to seek freedom of
expression through art. This philosopher and
jazz artist had a knack for making you feel
important and respected, and I believe this
was because he realized what a special gift
this life truly is. He played gigs well into his
80's and I was honored to have him play
both violin and piano at my wedding.
Although my beloved grandfather has
crossed over to the other side, his legacy of
free expression beats strongly in the tunes
that I swing.
