My Jazz Story

I love jazz because It's the most envelope-pushing music in existence - there is no creative "ceiling." I was first exposed to jazz In 7th grade. The best show I ever attended was Astral Project - Live at Funky Butt (New Orleans). The first jazz record I bought was Louis Bellson Explosion. My advice to new listeners: Keep an open mind & try to listen to the music as if it's the soundtrack for your life.
