In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At 3 years-old, curled under an end-table listening to the record-player. At 5 years-old, Mom teaching me "Heart & Soul," then hours of figuring out how to play a myriad of songs from those records, and radio, adapting the chords from "Heart & Soul." What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bobby Short, Bobby Short Loves Cole Porter Jelly Roll Morton, New Orleans Memories. Vocal & Piano Solos Vince Guaraldi Trio, Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus (with "Cast Your Fate To The Wind") Deluxe Edition While "Top 3" is impossible to say - these made an impression. Listened to Jelly Roll on my mom's 78 rpm records as a kid (also Bix and others). My uncle introduced me to Guaraldi, and I discovered Bobby Short through the Torrance Library.
