Thank god for Jazz

I don't know about you, but I work best when listening to music. But not just ANY music. For me, it's jazz.  I can spend all day listening to #jazz as I work. Specifically, today it was the Clifford Brown station on Pandora. Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan...some of the absolute greats who were under-appreciated, in my opinion. And of course, Clifford left us too soon at the age of 25, so we'll never know what he could have attained. But man, that swing and rhythm can get me through the day. Add in Kenny Dorham, Dexter Gordon, Grant Green, Coleman Hawkins, (one of my faves) Jackie McLean, Monk, Sonny Rollins...and my love, Trane....and my day is pretty daggum perfect, and PRODUCTIVE. Thank god for JAZZ. #realjazz
