Ahmad Jamal was one of Miles' favorite pianists. I recall reading that in his autobiography.

I have a crush on this girl

Not jazz, sorry. but speaking of crushing on women who play bass


ok its not a crush. i'm in love with that woman, like i'd murder kittens and puppies to have her

[wubstep]

Made a video (audio/visual bizniz) about this beat jazz freak who lives a few doors down, you guys might appreciate. Wicked guy.

I am starting up a Jazz Youtube channel posting rare finds that aren't on youtube yet. It is mostly going to contain Japanese groups and some European stuff as well.
