| Jazz for aficionados ***** Jimmy Scott passed away. R.I.P*****There was none better. A victim of immoral, bottom-dwelling 'music executives', for much of his career. R.I.P. Indeed.This morning, I am listening to his CD 'All The Way'. As is true of all of his recording... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Youn Sun Nah.Amazing ability with her voice. I found Koreans to be very passionate and soulful people. They love to sing. In 1976 during my first tour there, a then current hit song, sung by a Korean woman, is the most beautiful song I have heard ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Both clips were very good. The Yellowjackets are a blast from the past. I have them on the LP, "Samuria Samba". That clip has an African tinge for sure.Pat Metheny clip was good also. I also listened to this one so I could see the band playin... | |
