My Jazz Story

I love jazz because...no one can tell you what you play is wrong. I was first exposed to jazz...from my first piano teacher at the age of 12. I met...Ray Brown, and he told the best stories from the 1940's. The best show I ever attended was...Ray Brown trio with Benny Green live at scullers. The first jazz record I bought was...Phineas Newborn Jr "a world of piano" My advice to new listeners...keep an open mind. Jazz is not the place for any judgements.
