New Jazz Video Series

 

A few of you may already know I've brought back the YouTube channel for this show. I've also started a new series of videos: "2:22 LP Review" where I review the album's contents and when applicable, show you it's neat or unusual artwork; needle drops included! All within the span of two minutes and twenty two seconds which, if you know me, can be challenging! Above is the latest installment - an outlier in the vast output of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Thanks for watching and have a great day!
