My Jazz Story

The best show I ever attended was... Maynard Ferguson in 1975, the Chameleon tour. I had seen Buddy and Woody, but was too young to really understand much. This was my 9th grade, and I was just starting to appreciate playing. Our junior high band went to Iowa State with no idea who Maynard was, but I was completely blown away by the band, the energy, the arrangements and just the overall vibe of the show. That night changed my life, and I knew I had to make that kind of music.
