RE: I like "Tusk" better than "Rumours."

I was exposed to Jazz early in life, like 4th grade in the mid 70's when attending a concert at what would later be my HS as I had 3 older sisters in attendance there with 2 in band, 2 in choir, though one would do both band and choir.

Anyway, the school has/had a Jazz band and it was that first time I heard them play that I discovered I loved jazz. Not sure how but I just loved the post war jazz period, Bop, Hard Bop, Post Bop etc. But, I'm coming around to Fushion and Free Jazz now that I'm considerably older.

I did end up with a Weather Report album, I think Heavy Weather is it.

My middle sister's best friend had an older brother that was heavily into Jazz and had a substantial Jazz collection and even taught it so I got exposed to some of the big names like Monk, Mingus, Coltrane, Davis etc.

It would take until the 1990's before I would begin to collect Jazz in any way or form, but not necessarily via LP, but by recording borrowed albums onto tape and today, I have several Jazz on vinyl, some reissues, others being original, both in mono and stereo.

I have not been to a jazz concert though.
