My Jazz Story

I love jazz because I found on it my best way of expression. I was first exposed to jazz when I was a child, my father used to listen to "Swing" recordings especially Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The best show I ever attended was Ornette Coleman at Austin Texas. The first jazz record I bought was "Blue Train" by John Coltrane.
