This is the best time ever to be a "Jazz Aficionado"; I say that because we can move back and forth in time with our PC as though it was a time machine.
In high school, there was a heated discussion about trumpet players; this must have been shortly after Clifford Browns death, and he was who I chose as my favorite trumpet. Another astute jazz fan chose "Kenny Dorham"; he was so adamant, that I wondered if I might not be wrong. What made matters worse was I didn't even know who Kenny Dorham was. I bluffed my side of the argument anyway.
That was a long time ago, but I never forgot bluffing in an argument about an artist I knew nothing about. At last, with my PC, I can explore and find out what Kenny Dorham was all about.
Maybe there is a jazz artist you want to know more about, now is the time.
