I'm an eclectic so I manage to have some jazz in my music collection, but it's kind old-school.
Dizzy Gillespie--I kind of have a thing for Afro and Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac
Ruth Lee Jones a.k.a. Dinah Washington--What a Diff'rence a Day Makes
Lady Day...love her!--Strange Fruit is kind of my fave, despite its morbid theme.
Louis Armstrong--What a Wonderful World and Hello Dolly! (I can't help myself!)
Duke Ellington--It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) and Take the "A" Train
I'm more into smooth jazz, I do not like the Coltrane sound.Favorite Artists:MaysaNorman BrownAlex BugnonNajeeFour 80 EastMike PhillipsBoney JamesYulara
