In honor of the 2022 book Dangerous Rhythms by New York Times best selling author T.J English, we constructed an hour of jazz celebrating the story of his intersection of the mob and the music. It starts in Chicago with the great King Oliver and ends in New York City with Jimmy Durante. In between, we touch on a story that was the root and force of jazz in the beginning. Featuring artists like Jelly Roll Morton, Bennie Moten, Earl Hines, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby and Louis Prima. A full homage to the story and some of the finest players to ever make the music. Dig into this themed celebration of jazz and story.Playlist
