Music In My Life

 I'm a music lover and hold a special place in my heart for Jazz. I've always loved big band swing but my ears were graciously opened to more wonderful genres of Jazz, after taking a History of Jazz college course.

Whenever I need to relax or have the urge to enjoy true music and genius talent (Okay, yes, that's a jab to many of today's artists), I'll play some old jazz videos. I want to share a few of my current favorite songs. These songs have been played so much that I'm pretty sure the apartment walls could even sing along, having mesmerize every word and note.

There's nothing better than closing your eyes and letting your imagination run wild while listening to Miles Davis or Charlie Parker (The Bird). When I want to feel true raw emotion, my speakers pour out Billie Holiday. When I need a boost of energy and just want to feel alive, I listen and dance to big band.

Let me know if you have a favorite Jazz musician or singer
Enjoy!
