My Jazz Story
I was first exposed to jazz as a boy in the early 1960's in NY in music classes in elementary school. At the time I played trumpet, then french horn, and my teachers gave me some literature on the history of jazz.
I'm not sure about the first jazz record that I bought, but I remember asking my grandfather to buy "Rhapsody In Blue" as a birthday gift for me when I was eleven or twelve, and he got me the Leonard Bernstein/NY Philharmonic LP.
As I write this, I'm listening to "Quartette Oblique" featuring David Liebman on sax. I found it quite accidentally: I was listening to John McLaughlin's "My Goal's Beyond" LP from 1971 on which "Lieb" had played. I went to his website and found this new release - it's excellent!
