Rok, you should know better than that. Having said that, I should probably have known that you don’t know better than that.If you are having an issue with someone, or something he/she posted, keep me out of it; that was your first mistake. I chall...

A testament to the popularity of Jazz in the 50’s. “The Subject Is Jazz”, a television series with smart programming and commentary on the subject of Jazz! Co-hosted by Billy Taylor and featuring some of the greatest players of the time. Well know...
