And now.... Here come my "Top Historical Jazz Albums" of 2021.

Anyone who came of age in the '60s or '70s has been having a ball this year... a LOT of incredible sounds... Coltrane... Lee Morgan...

This could be a list of 15 or 20. I'll limit myself to half a dozen. #6... Top Historical Jazz Albums of 2021

Thread... I’m in New Orleans – and this is Louis Armstrong’s gold plated-mouthpiece. The hand in the surgical glove belongs to David Kunian, music curator of the New Orleans Jazz Museum (@nolajazzmuseum). David was nice enough to tour me through the museum’s archives. So here’s Johnny St. Cyr’s banjo. You probably know about him — he played with Louis Armstrong’s Hot Five & Hot Seven bands, as well as with Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers.
