Why Are We Passionate About Playing Jazz (Story Time)?
About this episode
So today, I'm gonna share with you some important points in my music life, like, the first thing I played with my first guitar when I got it, how that one, 7-note lick that my first pro jazz teacher taught me gave me a "light bulb" moment, and most importantly, the reason behind what is in music that resonates with me so much that keeps me passionate about it
Before I'll end this story, I'm gonna leave you with a challenge that would help keep that spark going that lights up your passion for discovering the jazz world.

1. what he used to play before jazz
2. how he came to love jazz
3. who his first pro jazz teacher was
