I love jazz because it moves me and mystifies me like nothing else on earth. I was first exposed to jazz in my mid-teens when I realised I was only listening to rock n’ roll for the solos. I met Herbie Hancock, and I still get goosebumps thinking about it. The best show I ever attended was Wayne Shorter at Barbican Centre (October 2011).
