My Jazz Story
JAZZ IS MY MOOD ALTERING DRUG OF CHOICE
I love jazz because... the music feels good - in my ears, in my throat, in my soul
Jazz is like a gorgeous intricate tapestry woven of many different styles and traditions, so
many different instruments. Best live, served up fresh at table side. A blend that will never
happen exactly that way again as the musicians trade riffs. Alive.
I was first exposed to jazz... in my teens, listening to Jack Teagarden on trombone. My
grandfather grew up in Davenport, Iowa with Bix Beiderbecke, and he tod great stories.
