Roger wins yet another internetz. He should donate them to a third-world hell-hole. Like Detroit.  :lulz:

Or Phoenix.

Phoenix isn't even a third world hell-hole.  It's just Hell.

good jazz.

Oxymoron.

Bullshit.

Jazz is four different people playing four different songs in the same room at the same time.  It is absolute garbage, with the only exceptions being Ella Fitzgerald and Scatman John, and neither one of them really qualifies as "jazz" anymore.

I was going to use Ella Fitzgerald as my example. I meant THAT jazz, REAL jazz, not Kenny G.

They shut down the factory that makes that shit in 1950.  Scatman John is still going, but it's only a matter of time til they run him down like a dog.

Billie Holiday lived the jazz life. She started poor, got insanely rich, did a lot of drugs, drank too much hooch, and died poor of an overdose surrounded by cops indicted possession with 75 cents in the bank.

Now THAT'S jazz.

No, that's rock n roll.  REAL rock n roll, mind you.

I'd say it was blues, but blues singers always live to be 300 years old.

Yes, but jazz was what rock and roll was before there was actually rock and roll.

It's the same phenomenon for a different generation.

None of this is any good with respect to the OP.  This is why we have Roy Orbison, Hank Sr, and Keith Heatherly.  And bourbon.
