The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Light-hearted Jazz (Dec. 2021)

Hello out there in Podcast-Land! Jazz many times is taken as a very
serious music (rightly so). Charlie Parker even said "If you don't
live it - - - it won't come out of your horn!" With that said, many
people find it hard to even break into jazz listening. They don't
even know where to start with something so "serious" as jazz. On
the other side of the coin, there are many light-hearted songs that
are some of my personal favorites tracks in all of recorded jazz.
At the end of the day, jazz cats know when to cut up and have a
really good time - - - which is one of the most important aspects
of this great art form. Jazz music can challenge you to think on
another level, it can blow your socks off, but it can also make you
smile, grin and laugh out loud. Enjoy!
