I really dont listen to jazz but this sounds too good. This might be a new genre in my life!

Pure COOL attitude with a swagger that would make Sinatra blush. They just don't make artists like this today.

The power was given to listen to be stimulated to do and be more not less.To reach further then your grasp.To believe other then what your eyes can see,I love the challenge of this music.It says there is more.More to learn more to find in this life.I have listened and each time I do I learn something more.I hear something different each time.I laugh at something new that has always been there.It never will be old fashion or outdated.

@jeremyb1910 Maybe i didn't make myself clear on this point. When i said "artists today" i meant JAZZ artists.

[taildragger53]

@jeremyb1910 To be fair though, there has always been crap music, even in Mobley's era.

Even Charlie Parker played bebop in open defiance to what he considered the crap R'n'B that was around at the time.

With Gaga, you're talking about a completely different genre.

Jazz, especially this type, has always drawn minority appreciation.

@taildragger53 They do, but people prefer to fill their ears with sh*t, like Lady Gaga. If people stopped to want be in a goddamn disco dancehall all the time, and started to listen, instead of seeing music, these artists will finally be able to achieve popularity. Which they deserve.

@tombokickass Meh, I don't think so. Just my opinion.

[tombokickass]

does anyone else think he uses the minor third down to the tonic just a bit too much? i dunno, just my opinion

[clix089]

@LooseGooseOnTheLoose it's a blues bro. you can pretty much find that anywhere.

[LooseGooseOnTheLoose]

Does anyone know where I could find the chords for this song?

[DarthClam]

That first head in is just too perfect.

Dude, this is why I listen to Jazz! They don't make music like these anymore.
