Sam Pinn: That’s a funny thing; I know where I was and I know how old I was when I was introduced to jazz – on a jukebox at a neighborhood luncheonette, or candy store as they called them in those days. I was 12 years old, I had just entered junior high school, and on the box they had rhythm blues, or doo-wop as they called it in those days, and jazz. So from 12 on I was into it; I was impressed with some stuff by  Charlie Parker,  George Shearing,  Erroll Garner… that was 1947.
