Patricia Barber: The Cole Porter Mix
by George Kanzler
The mix here is a Cole Porter cocktail, a dry martini but with a touch of jalapeno instead of olive.

Charlie Parker/Arne Domnerus: In Sweden (Nov. 22, 1950)
by George Kanzler
In today's growingly fractured jazz world, it's hard to fathom how strong was the hegemony of Charlie Parker and bebop over the jazz world in the decade after World War II, especially during the years, like 1950-51, when Parker was actively touring.
