My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...
I played trumpet as a youth and came in contact with jazz early, but I was never a musical
guy so it went on with jazz photography instead.
I was first exposed to jazz...
Early. My parents listened a lot to jazz at home.
The best show I ever attended was...
One of the most memorable concerts was a small one with Hugo Rasmussen and Jacob
Fischer at a small club in Copenhagen a very warm summer evening some years ago. Chick
Coreas Freedom band with Kenny Garrett, Roy Haynes and Christian McBride at Montreux
Jazz 2010 was also awesome!
The first jazz record I bought was...
Don´t quite remember but I think something with Miles. Maybe Kind of Blue?
