Long time UK punk guitarist learning to bop.
After playing rhythm guitar with more enthusiasm than skill in punk and 60s garage bands for 4 decades I decided to learn to play properly a couple of years ago. Always loved Miles and Ella since I was a kid but now getting deeper into the jazz rabbit hole and open to suggestions for old and new stuff to dig.

My Jazz Story
I was first exposed to jazz by my
dad singing Summertime around
the house and getting me to listen
to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis
Armstrong when I was very
young.
The best show I ever attended
was Lorne Lofsky and Nigel Price
in Bristol, UK.
The first jazz record I bought was
a cheap Billie Holliday Best Of LP
when I was 14
My advice to new listeners - read
Ted Gioia’s The History Of Jazz
and listen to The Jazz Bastard
podcast.
