I love jazz because... I was first exposed to jazz...in 1970's I met [musician name]...Pedro Giraudo in 2007 and was blown away by his compositions and arrangements, and the incredible level of the soloists in the band The best show I ever attended was... The first jazz record I bought was...ah, who can remember My advice to new listeners...Pedro Giraudo Jazz Orchestra and Pedro Giraudo "Expansions" Big Band Or whatever else you have in mind. I love the old bebop artists, particularly pianists (Bud Powell, Thelonius Monk. . .)
