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.

i must have listened to jazz for over a decade before i really thought of it as a genre. as a child i suppose i thought jazz was dixie land rags. i probably had to hear gracan moncur III or eric dolphy before i knew what i was listening to was jazz.i listened to music i found difficult and unlikeable to my tastes. now they are basically my tastes.i love jazz. i started by accident and effort with bill evans, sunday at the village vanguard. 6/25/61. i can't even get the date out of my head!
