Alexatpos, I'm very curious as to how you have all these obscure, but very good musicians in your collection; my guess is you have a really huge collection, could you elaborate?
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Today's Disappointment: Billie Holiday -- THE QUINTESSENTIAL BILLIE HOLIDAY VOL 5 A 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 rate, "B" Movie themes, and tin pan alley castoffs. Just made me angry to listen to it. Good sound quality, by the usual Holiday CD standards, and her talent comes through, in spite of everything. Cheers :( |
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 one. Speaking of Cab and Zoot suits, here he is in his "Zoot Suit" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyuRT-ExzuQ Enjoy the music. |
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-H07nU5s Enjoy the music. |
