Behold : A playlist offering samples of the more eclectic and experimental side of (vintage) Jazz. These songs were all ripped from my ever-growing Jazz vinyl collection and when I attempted to find some other word (besides Jazz, since many associate the genre with cheesy elevator music), I was quite surprised to discover this on Wikipedia :
"Synonyms of jazz
balderdash, baloney (also boloney), beans, bilge, blarney, blather, bosh, bull [slang], bunk, bunkum (or buncombe), claptrap, drivel, folderol (also falderal), folly, foolishness, fudge, hogwash, hokeypokey, hokum, hooey, humbug, humbuggery, malarkey (also malarky), moonshine, nonsense, piffle, poppycock, rot, rubbish, senselessness, silliness, stupidity, tommyrot, trash, trumpery, twaddle"
How strange to realize that an entire genre of brilliant music is collectively gathered under this giant umbrella of a term that more or less means "nonsense"!
Astounding ...
As always,
*** ENJOY ***
