My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it is our music. These songs are rich. They reach deep down into our souls, and were born from our fathers and grandfathers. I was first exposed to jazz by my father who was a jazz pianist, writer and arranger, so from the day I was brought home from the hospital, I heard this great music in the house. The best show I ever attended was Lena Horne's A Lady And Her Music. It was like nothing I've ever seen before or since. My advice to new listeners—keep your mind and hearts open, and be true to your own voice.
