Does anyone besides me find it a little odd that RP has a total of 5 songs sung by Billie Holiday in play? I was scratching my head when this came on because it occurred to me that I rarely hear her played on here - then I looked at the list and saw why that is. {#Stupid}
 
Legendary talent, but not my taste. So 5 too many.

Oh, please don't misunderstand me - I love Billie. She was so gifted, and such an icon. That's why I find her underwhelming presence on RP so puzzling. But then, I've always felt the same about Dinah Washington as I do about Billie, and RP doesn't have even a single song by her in circulation. WTF?

Ken Burns' Jazz transformed me from Jazz-curious to Jazz-obsessed. See it, see it, see it!
 
Shame he missed out Weather Report, fusion, all the major jazz guitarists and just about anything that happened in jazz during the 1970's. Apart from that ....

See http://www.pbs.org/jazz/. I thought this would be a snoozefest leaning too much on Satchmo, but it turned out to be riveting. The Dixieland crap aside (sorry—not a fan), the rest of this story is terrific! Available for rent from your favorite mail-order DVD rental folks, and also found at many public libraries for free (albeit it may only be in VHS format at the library).

Glad I was right in thinking it was Oscar Peterson - I never knew he played with Billie Holiday so not only did I enjoy this very much but I'm now slightly better informed than I was a few moments ago. ;)

Oscar's stellar swinging and unmistakable "singing" along with his playing gave it away for me.  Amazing group of musicians.

All you folks who think RP should stick to alternative rock or whatever narrowly defined genre you deem worthy: Get your own station! Bill's at the controls. If he likes it, he plays it. If you haven't figured out yet that RP is eclectic, you gotta listen some more. If you want to keep your musical fare within a specific range, create your own playlist.

Better yet, open up your mind to the folks who brought music to where it is today. Without pioneers and innovators and groundbreaking musical talents like Billie Holiday, we'd all be listening to Lawrence Welk or Pat Boone.

No, I don't wanna hear from all the fans of Larry and Pat out there. You know what I mean...

Happy Listening Y'all,
