I love jazz because it's the only music that really speaks to me. I was first exposed to jazz in my late teens. The best show I ever attended was Steve Turre and Sanctified Shells. The first jazz record I bought was Bitches Brew. My advice to new listeners is to buy a broad spectrum of jazz and then go deep on what you love the best. I have a big collection, and so that I get to hear my favorite stuff frequently, I create lots of playlists. I mostly listen to my collection through my MacBook Pro which goes through a great sound system.
