I love jazz because it speaks to my soul. I was first exposed to jazz in Binghamton, NY seeing Buddy Rich and his Killer Force Orchestra. I met Slam Stewart as a high school student. I've attended a lot of great shows. The Buddy Rich, Mel Lewis, Jeff Hamilton, and Ray Brown shows are my favorites. The first jazz record I bought was Buddy Rich's “Everything” and Miles Davis' “Milestones.” My advice to new listeners is to listen to everything because the musicians creating this music speak from their hearts!!! You don't have to love it all, but there is always a lot to appreciate and respect. I'm always deeply grateful to have a life in Jazz!
