My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... it stimulates creativity. I was first exposed to jazz... thanks to my uncle, with a CD of bossa nova from Irio de Paula. I met Fausto Beccalossi, Paulinho Garcia, Antonia Bennett... The best show I ever attended was... Al di Meola's concert in Parma (Italy). The first jazz record I bought was... Michael Frank, The Art of Tea. My advice to new listeners... leave your worldview and mindset behind, just listen and imagine.
