happy hour is long over with, conversations came and went, cocktails were refreshed, cigarettes were shared, and now it's last call and there's nobody in the bar but you and the jukebox.

11 tracks from 1948 through 1969 - from the high spirits of bop all the way down to ballads that bleed your soul blue.

music by James Moody, Billie Holiday, Gil Evans & others

This mix starts slow and sensual, is small, fun but firm in the middle and ends in tight bouncy lushfulness while maintaining a smooth undertone. I can’t think of a better ode to fit women with curves. They are equally amazing to behold. Those curves, those curves, those curves. Here’s to you gorgeous ladies.

Few sounds both express coolness and touch the soul like a muted trumpet. Here are a few tracks featuring muted trumpets either as the lead or as a side. No matter though, still very cool.

It's 3:30am and I'm up, so I put together a mix of music by Art Tatum, Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke. You're welcome but you should really thank Sir Insomnia.

Food for the soul as prescribed by the legends of jazz.

Twenty jazz tracks for spending time with that special someone including music by MIles Davis, Hank Mobley, and Chet Baker.

Second installation of Classics/Jazz to take the edge off

Twelve instrumental jazz tracks to listen to sitting in a club chair while doing nothing else, except maybe drinking a glass of bourbon/brandy (not me, I don't drink alcohol) and/or smoking a cigar/pipe (not me, I never smoke). You can also snap your fingers or beat the tempo with your right foot (or even the left one, I'm not sectarian) and even with your head.
(running time of a double LP/full 90 minutes tape)
