That would make sense.
Also, please no "swing room". I don't know if jazzers are aware of this, but "swinging" is also famous in our times for being a particular sexual practice that I don't really care for.

I don't even have anyone to "swing" with.

But since this is a jazz site, wouldn't most people associate it with swing and not swinging?

this is a good way for me to get more into jazz, maybe I should buy some old old school Louis Armstrong and Duke Elington just to start at the beginning

Maybe we should compromise and choose a different but still funny titled genre. How about The Dixie Room? And we'd be dixies.

In honour of JMA I am now listening to my favourite jazz album. I'm adding it now so I can rate it. You'll soon see what it is.

It's innovative music, but not that great.
Have you heard the Jakszyk Fripp Collins video yet?

The #1 Admin here is quite centre-left oriented in his political views, so we could have a show in that libertarian thread.

Why not? I migrated my metal reviews from PA to MMA. Thing is I have like 4 jazz reviews and their all prog-based, so I need to re-write them

Date Posted: 07 Apr 2011 at 5:27pm
Yes, if you edit them a bit (like deleting discussions about how prog the music is, mentions of PA, etc.)

I copy-pasted my review of Hiromi - "Time Control" from PA. I don't know how often I'll do this, I like starting fresh; especially considering this is a JAZZ site

Crossings should get 5 stars.
And I Sing the Body Electric probably 4.5 stars.
Sextant is too inconsistent for my taste, and the Weather Report debut might get an extra 0.5.
