The image of jazz/blues has been tarnished through time. Lets all sit down and applaud in a polite fashion. Feeling cool knowing the tunes of Miles Davis, Ella & Bo.... lets not! Did you really hear what they had to say?This is about tunning in to the truth they laid. When they were able to speak of the feelings they felt and not just puppets of popular producers.We are talking freestyle, pain, sex, politics and violence here. In short JAZZ & BLUES!It has been alleged that the cotton club itself was associated with its fair share of gangsters, violence and policy less than favourable to black people. Having said that some of the greatest jazz talent was found and cultivated there.All the artists on this page played there. Props to them all.If this doesnt make you feel like crying you are indeed a strange fruit. Flapped out! Ella more talented than you first thought. If Bessie can show jazz has two heads... well... ella can can show you the third! Oh lord aint it cold,but Im not gonna holler, cause Ive still got a dollar. And when I get low, Oooo I get high (Ella Fitzgerald).
