I met [musician name]...McCoy Tyner, Ravi Coltrane, Mathew Garrison, George Benson, Reggie Workman The best show I ever attended was...Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in a small bar in Albany. The first jazz record I bought was... My advice to new listeners..to ask questions and listen to a wide variety of music. Have an open mind.. Or whatever else you have in mind.
