Charlie Shoemake: Vibe Jibe
For the life of me I have no idea why Charlie Shoemake isn't a household name. He's easily one of the finest jazz vibists around and yet he's largely unknown. He loves melody and harmony and most of all he swings. Maybe it's because he doesn't have a Wiki page or a website. Or because his ...

Blossom Dearie: '54, '65, '72 And '83
