[lbo-talk] jazz history

[Chuck Grimes]

Below is a link to a brief history of jazz in the 50s-60s which includes 
just about everybody I followed (who didn't) when I first discovered them on 
an obscure FM channel in LA. The first albums I bought were Sketches of 
Spain, Kind of Blue, My Favorite Things, and Something Else.

For me, they all caught the period exactly right. You could only dream of 
being that good. I had no idea what it cost them. Well I sort of did, but 
didn't
want to dwell on it. As a side note Red Garland deserves all the credit St. 
Clair gives him
