Are There Any Jazz Lovers Out There? (2 Viewers)

[Elvis]

It's America's classical music:

Bird was a wonderful movie. Been too long since I've seen it.
Did you ever catch 'Round Midnight?
That's the one Dexter Gordon did back in the mid 90's.
A different pace, to be certain, but a great movie none the less....

I never did, no. Dexter's one of my faves, no doubt. His melodicism is astounding.
