About Jazz
The history of jazz music origins is usually attributed to the turn of the century New Orleans. There are so many styles of jazz from bepop, hot jazz to classic jazz. My personal favorites have always been the smoky, sexy tunes from Louis Armstrong, Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Diane Washington, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker..very romantic. The saxophones and piano..the natural good feeling comes from inside you
