We Think Of Yesterday by Anicia Kohler
Story of the Day
I love jazz because it is in my blood. It is the only original American art form. It is sacred. The greatest musicians are jazz artists. I was first exposed to jazz in 1961 listening to my father's records of Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young. I met Sonny Stitt, Wayne Shorter, Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, Michael Brecker, Cannonball Adderley, Walter Booker, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, George Benson, Mike Stern, Stanley Turrentine, Billy Harper, Skip Hadden, Charlie Haden. The best show I ever attended was Joe Lovano with Soundprints at the Wexner Center in Columbus Ohio in 2014. The first jazz record I bought was Miles Smiles.
