Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been going through some stormy weather of my own, but don't you worry, I won't leave you out there in the rain to find jazz for yourself.
This is Lena Horne, who just passed away today at age 92. Lena was a great jazz vocalist and a civil rights leader. She battled all sorts of persecution in her lifetime, but remained strong willed and steadfast in her convictions. This is a clip of her performing the song "Stormy Weather." It's a jazz standard, aren't they all? Dig in particular the dramatic window-blowing-in music...poor conductor.
