My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it's helped me to escape to new worlds and new experiences. I was first exposed to jazz while I was very young. I was born in 1964 and I remember jazz being the background music for so many TV programs I used to watch. Sesame Street, The Pink Panther, Peanuts and many others. I've loved jazz for as long as I can remember. I met the bassist, Jennifer Leightham, recently at a performance at The Merc, in Temecula, California. It was a wonderful experience. The first jazz record I bought was Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" (1959). My advice to new listeners is don't let anyone discourage you from exploring jazz and don't limit yourself to one type of jazz. Be bold! Experiment! Expand your musical horizon! You will never regret it!
