First Day of Blogging about Jazz

Hello Everyone:

My name is Jeffrey Harrison. I am a French Horn player from New Orleans, currently living on post in Uganda with my wife who works for the UN. We are moving to Nairobi, Kenya soon however.

Basically, I have had a keen interest in learning about jazz since I was in high school....yes, a long time ago. In any case, I did not choose to pursue playing/learning about jazz until about 10 years ago. Over time, I have increasingly become more committed to becoming conversant in the jazz language.

Recently I formed a jazz quartet here in Uganda. I found a very good bassist, pianist and sax player. The bassist is from the US, the pianist from the UK and the sax player from Uganda. We played a gig or two but now, as mentioned we are moving to Nairobi. Anybody know of any good jazz musicians in Nairobi? If so, please let me know.

I hope to provide regular posts about my experience learning jazz.
