In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember listening to Django Reinhardt and instantly, I was hooked into improvisational music. I wore out the CD listening and had to buy several copies. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Art Tatum, Art Tatum: Piano Starts Here Bud Powell, The Genius of Bud Powell (Remastered) Oscar Peterson, Icon: Oscar Peterson Three of the greatest pianists of the 20 century, these three albums are in constant rotation for me.
