The Maison Bourbon, Bourbon Street, New Orleans, one of the many homes of Jazz -- America's home-grown musical genre.
I am a tremendous fan of jazz, and not solely because my wife is an accomplished jazz singer and performer. I was raised by my parents surrounded by their record collection, featuring many of the greatest talents. Everything from Dizzy Gillespie to Gene Krupa, Billy Holiday to Cleo Lane, and Charlie Byrd to Brazil '66. Jazz was a part of my childhood.
It's a dynamic musical category, with dozens of sub-genres and styles, each with a different feel and approach, yet all undeniably coming from the same musical origins.
Jazz.
