I was first introduced to Blossom Dearie watching "Schoolhouse Rock" on Saturday mornings on ABC when I was a kid. Later I learned that she (as well as most of the other musicians who performed in the Schoolhouse Rock franchise) was a highly accomplished jazz musician. She has a very distinct voice.

I do not think I appreciate jazz.

She hasn't had enough exposure to appreciate it.

In my earlier years, I spent many a happy night in Ronnie Scott's.

When it comes to music appreciation, we failed our kids miserably.

I think Vince is trying to turn us onto jazz. His only hope is probably Tati or Scarlette.

I don't hate jazz but I can't say it's the kind of music I would listen to. Jazz dance is confusing but I've taken it but it really isn't all that different from many African dance I've done. I don't think it's as big a thing here as it is there. It's more theatre like, at least here.

I wonder if that's because the best known jazz musicians are black? They're not all black but once upon a time it was predominately black musicians. Some jazz is okay to listen to but I really have to be in the mood for it. Before you poo-poo all jazz listen to some Esperanza Spalding.
