Oscar sounds like he patterned his vocal tone after Nat Cole. It's amazing that he can sing as well as he does as his second instrument. He picked one of the most distinctive voices to imitate.…

I'm looking to purchase the CD of Ryo Fukui's 'A Letter From Slowboat', but I had no IDEA there were like, 10 separate versions of the release, and RE-release. Crazy!…

Been Collecting vinyl records for 6 years now and it's only the last 2 months I've been focusing on Jazz. I had some modern jazz records in my collection (Ezra Collective and Moses Yoofee Trio) and Kind of Blue (Shamelessy as DOL copy).…
