I am originally from Brooklyn, NY by the way of Memphis,TN. I was first introduced to Jazz by my Father & Mother who were avid fans. My Father whom was an overall history buff was animated in making us aware of the rich culture by any means necessary. My sister and I were showered with music, books, concerts, etc. and one day we received a piano. My focus shifted from rolling in the grass to rolling down the piano keys. I played myself through High School, College, and landed here in NYC. While I never quite made it as a Full-Time working musician ( a few gigs here and there) I never lost the passion to preach the gospel called Jazz. Through journalism, engineering, and concert promotion I’ve always found a way to let Jazz speak through me. Thanks for tuning in!
...jazz in books is about the hunger, history, and the future of Jazz culture. Dedicated to the restoration, love and passion behind a timeless yet innovative sound. Highlighting today's brightest and yesterday's heroes.
jazzyjoyce: Hi, If you don't mind me asking, where are you from and what is your own personal background with jazz culture?
