Signor Adam,you've gotta have mack the knife on your list-it's one of the most definitive jazz songs

Mack the knife was one of the first jazz songs that I listened to and got the ball rolling

Its really liberating,isn't it?Not being tied down to anything or feeling that you are...

And seeing a jazz performance live,there's nothing quite like it...

Thats so cool...

You know,it's really important that we educate ourselves if the means aren't there because there's just so much out there and alot of it is incredibly relevant

I grew up around most people listening to either that bollywood cr*p or lack-lustre chart music but I've never let myself get boxed...

Im not sure,i'll find out because it's quite a famous clip...

She's definitely one of the greastest Jazz singers but yeah,her face tells a thousand stories...I think that added alot of poignancy to her voice and songs
