My first jazz song was Charlie Byrd's Chim Chim Chiree, then I just started downloading recommended jazz artists.

My friend, his dad, and I used to go to blues jam nights when we were younger like around age 10-13. There was guy there who always played a very jazzy blues, I always wondereed what he was playing, I then later found out it was jazz stuff. I researched it a bit. Then lost track. I got older and startd really appreciating music then got back into it when I hit highschool, and then I Took a "Servey of Jazz class" in Junior College and it was all over,I am in love with it and will be. Right now Im listening to Sonny Rollins,.

My initial interest was sparkled by Tom Verlaine.(His guitarplaying can be so Saxophone) But I didn't became serious about it untill I heard Ah Um.
