MUSIC CENTRAL!!!

My preference would always be to sit in a piano bar, or jazz club
or swing concert and listen to real jazz and jump for hours.

I've spent half my life collecting music and there are always favorites
that stand out.

One of the best, most sultry compositions that came out
in the 1930s was Harlem Nocturne which was
adopted by an incredible trumpet player named Randy Brooks
who made it his theme song. Brooks also made a name
for his band with big recordings like Tenderly and Man with A Horn.

Sadly, his career was cut short by his death in a fire.

I couldn't find Brooks' version of Harlem Nocturne, but
I did find the next best recording by a great neo-swing/jump band,
The Johnny Nocturne Band, and one of my favorite bands today.

Enjoy.
