A mix I made for a friend a few years back. At the time, all the music on this mix was brand new to me and it was the process of making this mix, and finding the tracks that kick started my passion for Jazz. Hope you like it.

Fifty tracks. One color.

TomCat longs for summer days spent basking in the sun. The background music? George Gershwin's aria from Porgy and Bess, a favorite of jazz artists since 1935. With lyrics by DuBose Heyward (author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based) "Summertime" has been covered more than 25,000 times by instrumentalists, vocalists, big bands, small combos, country heroes, pop stars, and rock icons. Here the focus is on recordings that infuse the melody with blues feel. It's a potent combination.

Lil Wayne is arguably the most popular/controversial/talked about artist of our generation. I was debating whether or not I was going to make this mix. As soon as I started listening to a bunch of old songs I haven't heard in a long time, I knew I had to.

Here is a documentary on Lil Wayne that I highly recommend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbKpdsLspwo
