Samara Joy.."Stardust"

I did a blues and rock thread. I also love jazz. The old standards hold their own today. Here is a delightful and very talented young lady doing one of my favourites. If you love jazz post your favourites here.

Yes,she is very good.
Do you class "Swing" as jazz?

Re: Samara Joy.."Stardust"

In it's broadest sense I do yes. My Dad took me to see Duke Ellington in Perth when I was 14. They did a world tour. They played at Subiaco Oval on a specially constructed plywood stage. It was awesome. Now that cat could swing!.. He took me to see Dave Brubeck the same year.

Re: Samara Joy.."Stardust"

He was good your dad.

I'm not too keen on modern jazz to be honest but do enjoy some swing.
This is very popular but not with Artie apparently he got asked to play too often for his liking.
