My Jazz Story
I love jazz because...it's the best music in the world.
I was first exposed to jazz in my teens listening to Billy Eckstine & Sarah Vaughan on the radio.
I met Jerry Sandifer in El Paso, TX, he's the first bandleader who hired me. The best show I ever attended was...a whole lot of 'em, and probably Lena Horne's The Lady and Her Music.
The first jazz record I bought was...probably Billie Holliday's recording of Gloomy Sunday. Why I ever chose it I don't know, I just remember playing it over & over & over.
My advice to new listeners...Listen.
Or whatever else you have in mind.
