| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I have the Lady in Satin CD. The wiki entry was sort of contradictory. I guess they all heard different things. I agree it's painful to listen to her, but still compelling.I was surprised to read that it made the Grammy Hall of Fame. Not that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:THE INTERNATIONAL SWEETHEARTS of RHYTHM I was looking thru some old family photos from way back in the day. Came across a photo of this group. Signed to my Aunt. I think she knew several of the band members, and they did play in Gre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very interesting question. I think the instrument players will win out in most cases. Ella being a possible exception.Of the two tunes you posted, I preferred the instrumental versions in both cases. I didn't think Lorez brought the required amoun... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ****Ham Hock Blues**** I almost clicked on that one myself. I really like it. Nice and easy swing. At first I wondered about the name "Ham Hock" But, since Milt Hinton(Mississippi) is on board, I guess it's OK. :)****Calloway's Zoot Suit*** Looks ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today's Disappointment:Billie Holiday -- THE QUINTESSENTIAL BILLIE HOLIDAY VOL 5A great talent saddled with third and fourth rate material. She manages to save some of it. That's how great she really was. No sign of any Jazz. A Bunch of Second rat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Nice clips of Zoot Sims. We know he can play, now, if only we could do something about that name. With another name, he could have been somebody, he could have been a contender. :)You don't have to tell us everything twice!Cheers | |
