Jazz on my mind.

My taste in music is far and wide ranging but jazz has a special place in my heart. I got the bug from my Dad, while other kids parents were playing Neil Young or bad '70s soft rock, I had Count Basie and Miles Davis playing on Dad's stereo in the background.

I started listening to jazz myself sometime in the mid 1990s bringing joy to dad especially when I started asking him what to buy for my CD collection. Generally if I am doing any PR writing, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock or Oscar Peterson will most likely be in the background to get me into the groove.

My taste in jazz is focused on the post big band era with be-bop, hard bop, cool and latin, basically anything with a groove.
