[gwb911]

good old jazz guys, can't tell which country it is.... thnx academics for stealing jazz from the black drug addicts....

[LuckA259]

@gwb911 Stealing jazz from the black drug addicts? You're well edumucated.

[DetectiveBlacksmith]

@gwb911 ignorant. Some of those "black drug addicts" changed not only jazz music but music in general forever.

[shinobi074]

[indigo1384]

@ladystorm61 yeah she is but why at Barnes and Noble is she classified (which in and of itself is bullshit because artists cant be confined to genre labels) as "world music when she clearly out jazzes her american counterparts???

huh?

why?

well?

[ladystorm61]
