Jazz

This morning when I was doing my history homework, I was learning about American influences on Cuban culture, and jazz was a big one.
The lesson listed some American jazz musicians, so I checked their music out and found that not only is it really good, but also I had heard it several times before but didn't know it was called jazz!
...Yeah, I know, why didn't I already know that? Do I live under a rock or something? Well I had never had reason to research it before, and culturally, yeah, I kinda do live under a rock. Workin' on fixing that though.
Anyways, here's the musicians I read about (and listened to) today, you probably recognize them, but let me know what you think.

Louis Armstrong
Duke Ellington
Josephine Baker
Harry James
Nat King Cole
Cab Calloway

Another thing, I didn't post lyrics or anything today because, well, most of the music itself is so good that only posting lyrics wouldn't really do it justice, so we'll just have to make do with their names so you can find them yourselves.

Oh, and another kind of jazz that I personally enjoy is Jazz Jackrabbit. Lol I used to play that computer game for hours without ever really getting very far... But hey, I was four! Can you blame me?

Til tomorrow!
