able to visit again and stay longer next time.

The crescendo (hope that's what they call it lol) at the end of this song gives me goosebumps! I am a total novice but a growing fan of Trad jazz or dixieland or hot jazz whatever they call it- just learning and enjoying as I go.

I’m a fan of all kinds of jazz. One of my sons was literally born to Miles’ Kind of Blue. If you want to love modern NO street jazz go to YouTube and look Doreen’s Jazz. Doreen Ketchans is one of the best there is.

I can’t paste the link for some reason but she’s something else.
