An absorbing JRR this week, but in view of the large amount of relatively "contemporary" Jazz, I would say that, wouldn't I? However my personal favourite was Curtis Fuller, and the mellow sounds he was making; I find it very easy to lose touch with the basic pleasures of Jazz.

Regretfully, I have a blind spot for Billie Holiday, but Nat Cole in "pop" mode made up for that.
