The only jazz I liked (and big-time) was Louis Armstrong in the late 1920s to early 1930s
So you were around in the 1920’s and 30’s? Wow, that makes you about 100, have you got your letter from Her Majesty The Queen yet ?
I have my letter from Queen Victoria.
I have been around for a lot longer than 100 years.
But jazz here seems defined pretty loosely – why not?
This is a fave, from Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael. The perfect song, about remembering a kiss from someone (not Queen Victoria) a long time ago.
Louis Armstrong at his best – he throttled the tune and twisted the words to produce a different sort of perfection.
