My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it's the freest form of music about us! It's exciting, innovative and fresh, forever changing. I was first exposed to jazz through Albert Ayler, who changed my life with his Holy Ghost Box Set recordings. I met Mike Patton on a plane once, it was awesome. The first jazz record I bought was Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation." My advice to new listeners if you find something that you don't like, keep looking. Jazz is vast and seamless, there's something out there for everybody.
