My Jazz Story
I love jazz because... I find it to be the truest form of my musical self. Other musical forms
allow me to inject aspects of my musical character, but only through live improvisation do I
get to show the audience what is going on inside me at that moment and involve them in
the creative process of composing.
I was first exposed to jazz... When I was quite young with my first jazz album, "Wynton
Marsalis, Live at Blues Alley". I did not know what I was hearing but I could not stop
listening. From that point on I wanted to be a part of that world.
My advice to new listeners... Don't take your recordings for granted. Live music is a way to
not only unplug but a way to connect with the artist and to support those that are working
hard to fill our lives with great music.
