| Jazz for aficionados "West Coast" jazz is a sub genre of "Cool Jazz", and so far has not been clearly defined. Although this is unimportant in the big scheme of things, it's important to me, because I was a fan of this genre. Since the records in my collection are "go... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, besides the divas we know very well, here's somebody I like a lot, "Lorez Alexandria"; I can feel that she has lived the songs she sings. For example "The End of a Love Affair"; I've got a version she sang juxtaposed against a version by the ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados "Ham Hock Blues" piqued my curiosity; I done heard of every kind of blues under the sun, but never "The Ham Hock Blues", do you know the words to this one? Well here's the music , and I like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgLDLLbIUa8Enjoy the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados After all that snow and ice in the Himalayas, I decided to warm up a bit in the Arabian desert; here's Rabhi Abou- Khalil, and "The Happy Sheik". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVs-H07nU5sEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I should have repeated the warning I gave you about Billie; why don't you go back and read that post again.Zoot was probably a real hip nickname when they gave it to him; although "Zoot suits" were kind of before my time, I know Cab Calloway wore ... | |
