| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10,with all due respect this statement is wrong:"A person can not get a car, an apartment, or a house without a job; what Mow-ron would not want a job?"In the state of NY we have the Department of Social Services (welfare) and other housing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo those 2 James Carter songs you posted are excellent selections. He can play with as much soul and feeling with any other saxman past or present and those 2 songs are just more proof.He is a technical virtuoso and, IMHO, the best sax player... | |
