Joe Rogoff

I'm a music lover and listen to a wide variety of genres - striving to keep up with what's new with a bit more time to do so, now that I'm retired.

My Jazz Story

Published on: 2018-09-08

I was first exposed to jazz when I attended a Blood, Sweat & Tears concert at Madison Square Garden in 1970, and had no idea that the opener would be the Miles Davis Quintet. This was a couple of months after "Bitches Brew," which I had not heard. They just blew me away--I remember looking around at the audience and nobody knew what hit them.
