Generation X OffenderPrelude To All That JazzIn this week's episode we go down the proverbial rabbit hole in hot pursuit of Billy Strayhorn. And all that jazz.
Billy who?
12 O'clock tails.
Jazz.
And cocktails.
Along the way we encounter the unlikely California car salesman, born in 1919, who started Concord Jazz records.
And the most unlikely of all, thirtysomething Linda Ronstadt, through her chart topping #1 album from 1978, Living In The USA, revealing the secret, hidden treasure that lies within the pens of twentysomething tunesmiths Warren Zevon and Elvis.
Costello, that is.
