I have been listening to Jazz since I was 16, that's been a while ago. I have been singing since I was 9. The very first Jazz song I fell in love with was the Jazz Crusaders "The Young Rabbits". I have been singing professionally for over 25 maybe 30 years. I have met a lot of Jazz musicians over the years and have had the pleasure of performing with some of the greatest Jazz musicians local and national. The best Jazz concert I ever attended was Al Jarreau, in the late 1970's at Mershon Auditorium. I have suffered two broken necks in my lifetime and I am "Still Singing Jazz Not Singing The Blues".
