Dave Brubeck was the first jazz I heard on my parents' stereo. It was the only jazz album they had as far as I know. I must have played the record (Time Out) 5 times the first day I heard it, and that many times a day for the next week. Guess I broke the '24hr rule.'
Who was your first
What was the first jazz artist that got you hooked on jazz? I was in a high end audio store and the salesperson put on Dianna Krall All or nothing at all on a pair of B&W's and ever since then I was hooked. And that is what led me down this never ending audio addiction.
