About Me
My Jazz Story
My first exposure to jazz was as a young
child when my parents played Ella
Fitzgerald Sings The Gershwin Songbook,
Nat King Cole's Love Is The Thing, George
Shearing, Frank Sinatra, and Sergio Mendes
albums. The first jazz record I bought was
Quintessence by Bill Evans. My piano-
playing great-grandmother was a published
songwriter, my grandpa played piano with a
wonderful style, and my dad still plays
piano and organ. I love jazz, it's fun!
