Customer Reviews
Top of the heap
I am a working jazz musician for 20 years now, and I wrote a Ph.D. Dissertation on protest song. John Clark teaches me about records and even artists I had never heard of before. Believe me, that’s no easy task.
Great
Thanks for this program. We’re serving overseas and it’s nice to listen to this on Saturday nights at home.
Amazing
This music is excellent, if you like jazz music I highly suggest listening to In the groove Jazz and beyond.
