    Can jazz move you to tears?

    Settle in and enjoy your Sunday morning brew as Bij and Niles discuss whether or not “jazz” can move a listener to tears, or is it too busy and complex to move a listener emotionally? Bij and Niles also dive into the dangers in throwing around the word “Great” when expressing one’s thoughts of a singer – particularly when trying to discern the differences between a Tribute Singer vs. a Recording Artist/Singer – those with uniqueness to their voices. And who is the mysterious Ernie Washington? Thelonious Monk may have the answers. And of course, Bijon & Niles are thrilled to talk about their upcoming concert live at The Smith Center in Las Vegas on September 10th.
