A friend liked it very much. I started listening because I wanted to know if he really liked it or just pretended to. Then I gradually found artists I enjoyed.
Then I had a hiatus. In college I became a folk musician. I didn't listen to rock or jazz, only folk and some classical. Later that expanded into blues which took me right back into jazz.
I have never played jazz (successfully). I wish I could. I think the root of musical enjoyment for some people is the act of imagination while listening that puts the listener into the imaginary role of the player.
