i haven't been following the list lately, so i've sadly missed all the
jazz-talk. let me guess, it's become a big fight? uhhhh... i'm no expert, but
i love it, have a decent vinyl collection and grew up with it in the house my
whole life (dad = jazz fanatic. ugh, the people he saw live would kill ya).
i especially dig jazz vocalists...
