About Me
I am currently arts and sports editor of the Tennessee Tribune, the largest Black-owned newspaper in the state. Also a contributor to Nashville Scene for jazz/blues and roots music coverage, and contributor to two online sites devoted to jazz.
My Jazz Story
I love jazz because it is the music that most demands the greatest blend of artistry, imagination and technique.
I was first exposed to jazz taking piano lessons as a child.
I met [musician name]. Too many to cite, but have met numerous ones since the late '70s.
The best show I ever attended was.. Sun Ra at the University of Massachusetts in 1974.
The first jazz record I bought was...Niles Davis - In A Silent Way
My advice to new listeners - Don't approach the music with any pre-conceived biases nor let someone else define for you what jazz is.
My House Concert Story
I attend them regularly here in Nashville, and listen to jazz radio shows as well.
