Mingus or Parker might play and Ellington, Bojangles and other famous folk would drop by! When he had a regular gig in LA, Dizzy Gillespie lived right down the block from my mama's house! My favorite jazz singers performing today are Paula West and Amber Weekes. GREAT NEWS... This Jazz Man audiobook just won the 2011 Audie Award for Children's Titles (For Ages Up to 8)! Also won a 2010 AudioFile Earphones Award! Bravo! to a formidable jazz man himself, the narrator, Mr. James "D Train" Williams, and to Live Oak Media for their wonderful production!
