Well aficionados, as much as we liked those decades, it's time to move on to the 70's, and examine that decade in detail.There was a problem that began in the 70's, and continued on until this very day; "Is it is, or is it ain't jazz"? I might lik...

Rok, you are definitely back on the track, especially with Kenny Dorham; but you ain't heard the blues until you hear them in a "Juke Joint". Albert King liked juke joints so much, I believe he regretted becoming famous; even after he became famou...
