My Jazz Story
I love jazz because I can’t help it!!. It’s a vibe
that draws me in. Must have my jazz playing
everyday, all day!
I was first exposed to jazz while being
conceived. My father was a professional jazz
musician & mother was a jazz singer.
Double love for the craft!
I met John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Clark Terry,
Nancy Wilson, Diane Reeves, The Adderley
Brothers, Abby Lincoln, Dee Dee
Bridgewater, Lionel Hampton, Ernestine
Anderson, Ahmad Jamal & so many more
The best show I ever attended was Lady
Nancy Wilson in Vegas at her finest! Also,
Kool & the Gang(the jazz version of the
group) in Okmulgee, OK. Just amazing!
The first jazz record I bought was Miles
Davis-Sketches of Spain
My advice to new listeners -. Be open to
different types of jazz, there’s many flavors
& a world of knowledge in every tune.
JAZZ IS A LIFESTYLE! Not for the faint at
heart????
