Comment:

This is sort of a re-working of my old "Laughable, unphotographable" intro-to-jazz mix that I did a couple of years ago, but this time I did it specifically for Jen. Overall, I think it's just a better mix, although I would ideally have something by Cecil Taylor or Sun Ra on here, if time permitted. [Note: This was revised on 11/17/05.]

Excellent Rob. Not a dud in the bunch. Lester Youngs solo on "Fine and Mellow" is one of my favorite jazz moments.
