Jazz, I call it the music of the soul. Soothing and relaxing. Each melody seems to engrain itself in our verycells. Jazz is enjoyed by many across the continents. It's roots can be traced toboth African and European origins.
Great jazz musicians such as the likes of John Armstrong, Scott Jolie, Benny Goodman have kept us on a light to a quick sway of the body and the tapping of feet with smiles filled with good memories.
