My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it's honest, it's refreshing, and it's liberating, musically. I was first exposed to jazz as a child. My father used to play Herbie Mann, Dave Brubeck, and Johnny Hartman. The first jazz record I bought was Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong Duets. My advice to new listeners... keep your mind and heart open.
