Prelude
This personal account of my experience with jazz is dedicated to the memory of Bill Schafer. For some years he encouraged me to write such an account, and I planned to write it as one in a series of personal essays on such topics as emigration to New Zealand, participation in political protest movements and university teaching.  It remained on my ‘to do’ list, but it took Bill’s sudden and unexpected death to make me finally get started. – Lawrence Jones
