“People think it is all about country music, and I know a lot of country music has come out of there, but like Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dillon was recorded there. A lot of great records; R&B records, jazz records.

“My school music teacher, Al Bennest, introduced me to jazz by playing Louis Armstrong's record of "West End Blues" for me. I found more jazz on the radio, and began looking for records. My paper route money, and later, money I earned working after school in a print shop and a butcher shop went toward buying jazz records. I taught myself the alto saxophone and the drums in order to play in my high school dance band.” EndsPlaySchoolOrderFoundRecordsTeacherChildhoodTaughtBandPaperHigh SchoolJazzWestRadioBuyingShopsPrintAlsRoutesButchersSaxophoneArmstrongAfter SchoolMusic TeacherWest EndJazz Records Author:Bill Crow

“My father had played cornet, although I never saw him play it. I found his mouthpiece when I was a kid. I used to buzz it.

Especially jazz records.” DifferentPlayKidsUsedMotherFoundFatherHouseChurchRecordsSawsFunctionJazzPianoChoirBuzzMouthpieceChurch ChoirJazz Records Author:Johnny Griffin
