These ranged from a Glenn Miller record to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, a gift from an uncle who knew he was interested in the trumpet. “I didn’t like a lot of jazz, but I liked Kind of Blue,” he said. “I remember my sister came home with a Coltrane album and I hated it. It was like bebop or swing and something about it bugged me. But when you’re 8, you don’t know anything.
