Jazz ABZ: An Education (B for Basie)

Here is the next stop on our alphabetical journey through our Jazz ABZs*: B for Basie.



Track 2: One O'Clock Jump



Bonus Track: How Long Blues**



*a personal project to go through Marsalis's Jazz ABZs and find a representative song (or just a song that I like) performed by each artist, with the goal of creating a decent playlist to accompany the book... and to flesh out my knowledge of jazz. It's also just another opportunity to admire the art of Paul Rogers, which is always a good thing.
**written by Leroy Carr

Jazz ABZ Playlist so far:
  1. West End Blues (Louis Armstrong)
  2. One O'Clock Jump (Count Basie)

Good evening friends! I'd like to take a moment and thank Jeff for helping me get through a tough time lately on https://us.calmerry.com/blog/therapy/what-is-sliding-scale-therapy-do-you-qualify/. He helped me realize that I've always had my "tools" available and its essentially to keep those out at all times. Meeting with him each week, giving me homework, provided a way for make a connection. Going through exercises provided the insight to link the how, why and see things differently.
