I love jazz because...Louis Armstrong I was first exposed to jazz..by Louis Armstrong. I met [musician name]... The best show I ever attended was...Herbie Hancock in 1976 ?? The first jazz record I bought was..Pharoah Sanders. Kharma 1970 ??? My advice to new listeners...None Or whatever else you have in mind. I am trying to write songs in the style of the Great American Songbook. Why should modern young jazz artists only have songs written 70 years ago to sing.
