My Jazz Story

I love jazz because...it epitomizes the best of American culture and it uniquely combines freedom, discipline, collaboration, and individuality. I was first exposed to jazz...when I was about 6 years old and heard Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" from the Carnegie Hall Concert The first jazz record I bought was... My advice to new listeners...listen to what you like, read the liner notes (whenever possible) and follow your curiosity to find other great artists. Or whatever else you have in mind.
