Posts 4 		Let us know if we're missing your favorite jazz writer or musician. In general we include published artists that our visitors may be familiar with. Good candidates include persons who have contributed to one or more CDs on Amazon.com and whose main body of work is in the jazz genre.

You'll notice some exceptions in our contents. These are usually vocalists who introduced jazz standards.

Posts 4 		We have a page for Ruby Braff with links to five biographies (Ruby Braff) but have not found anything on Johnny Barnes. Do you mean guitarist George Barnes who is known for the five records he made with Braff as the Braff/Barnes quartet? His page is here: George Barnes

Posts 1 		What about Bill Stegmeyer? Actually I am listening to the Billy Butterfield band of 1946-47 (HEP) and on reading the notes I see that Billy and Bill Stegmeyer seem to have been good friends and that Bill arranged for Billy's band as well as playing alto and clarinet with the band. Untimately the band was not at all successful and folded. I see that Bill died in 1968 aged only 51. He seems to have been quite a good arranger as well as a most able clarinet player.

Posts 1 		I'm not a jazz expert, but I am a huge Sinatra fan...and have been since 1949. How about it?? Can Sinatra be considered a legitimate jazz singer?? I believe a lot of the songs he sang could be considered 'jazz' in the truest sense of the word, but I'd love to hear other opinions on the subject. Anyone care to elaborate?? Cool
