My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... I think it is real. On top of knowing how music and your instrument work one absolutely must bring one's soul into the mix. I was first exposed to jazz... my dad played piano and had Bennie Goodman records. I met [musician name]... Jethro Burns and he turned me on to Django Reinhardt The best show I ever attended was... Bireli Lagrene at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago - plus the annual Django Reinhardt Festival in Samios sur Seine - plus the Midwest Gypsy Swing Fest in Madison WI US The first jazz record I bought was... Djangologie My advice to new listeners... feel the connective energy flow jazz musicians (hell all real musicians) draw from and offer it to the listener thru the music Or whatever else you have in mind. honesty, groove, flow
