My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it requires the full set of your musical skills, it makes you tap your foot, and it is a vast and colorful community. The first jazz record I bought was Les McCann and Eddie Harris SWISS MOVEMENT 1969 Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival--Compared to What?!? Cold Duck... My advice to new listeners... don't judge a record by its jacket.
