I really apreciate this lineup. To see jazz greats like Charlie Christian and Jelly Roll and read their stories is a real pleasure. I considerd taking off one star however for the typo on Stephane Grappelli, but then I read their erratum discussion and figured I had been fair warned. All in all this is a very special calendar. I am impressed by the writing and their choice to leave out some of the less savory elements and focus on the music. Stephane's "e" notwithstanding, this is an excellent and entertaining calendar. I hope to see my other favorites and those yet to become my favorites in next year's lineup. I am curious to hear others thoughtd on listening suggestions!?
