My Jazz Story
I love jazz because it's an evolutionary entity; it's continually
growing, changing, and reaching higher heights, and all who engages in
it - listener and performer alike - are taken on that path and pattern
of exploration and transcendence.
I was first exposed to jazz when I was rather young, as my father
listened to jazz quite frequently. But it wasn't until I was just a
few days shy of the age of sixteen that I actually engaged jazz out of
my own volition.
I've met Brian Gore, Lulo Reinhardt, Greg Williamson, John Hansen,
John Pizzarelli, and Pat Metheny
The best show I've ever attended was a Pat Metheny concert at Jazz
Alley in Seattle in summer of 2012.
The first jazz record I bought was "Miles Smiles". One of my favorite
albums.
My advice to new listeners would be to not be intimidated by possibly
not knowing where to start or who to listen to; try listening to one
artist/composer and then gradually branch out by listening to people
they've played with, and then people those people have played with,
and so on, until you've heard a ton of people and
compositions/renditions.
