[Dixielandjazz] Greatest Jazz Album Ever Recorded

[Harry Callaghan]

Bob:

I wasn't necessarily stating that "Somethin' Else" was the greatest jazz
album of all time........just saying that I preferred it over "Kind of Blue"
as they were quite similar.  If you want, I'll send you copies of either or
both and you can judge for yourself.

"Q" was the nickname Sinatra gave to Quincy Jones.

First you ask me about Butterball and now Q.  Are you sure you're not really
the guy who had the Fulton Street Fish Market instead of the band?
