My Jazz Story

I was first exposed to jazz... when sifting through my parent's CDs! My first exposure to jazz was the Brian Setzer Jazz Orchestra, and I was hooked ever since! My advice to new listeners... always try and reach out to your heroes and your favorite musicians. They might just become your friend!
