I love jazz because its just the best style of music for expressing the artists personality in a kind of abstract art form I was first exposed to jazz by my father who liked Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan and Eric Dolphy I met Esbjorn Svensson, Dan Berglund and Magnus Ostrum in Buxton Theatre UK The best show I ever attended was either Harrison Smith Quartet at the Castle Hotel Brecon or Branford Marsalis @ Umbria Jazz Fest The first jazz record I bought was. Zoe Rahman, the Cynic My advice to new listeners is attend a live event before you dismiss jazz and open your mind up with a glass of wine whilst listening
