Thank you, Magda. Yes, I guess those times and places were interesting and historic in many ways, although at the time I didn't notice that. It was the post-war period and there were many changes happening, such as the realization that we were part of a larger community than just the US - there was the rest of the world. All sorts of social rumblings of civil rights and women's movements were straining to bring the earlier efforts of the 19th Century to completion, a still an ongoing process. Popular music was having its own revolution, and new jazz forms were coming into being with new musical scales, new uses of instruments, new voices. The jazz musicians were playing what I would call 'protest' music against the established traditions of life in America. That was Be-Bop and modern jazz played by talented and sophisicated musicians, many of whom were trained in classical music, but played jazz for a living and for the joy of it.
And may I add a list of songs by Sarah to which you can listen, to the wonderful selections you provided?

Jim, it's a very long list, and I thought you might enjoy having access to it, along with Magda's selections.

Chicago and New Orleans. Both cultural heartlands of unique American music. Both decimated by indifference to the inhabitants.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge. Carl Jung - Aion (1951).

I need the soothing music as I research Mil-Intel input to the rise of NSDAP.
Such an affront as Hegel and Blavitsky and Hate requires an antidote.
All this Ms. Vaughan does the job.
Thanx

Bowie with his best live band, in full on cockney mode, miming about those Scary Monsters and Super Creeps:

On 26th July this year, Mick Jagger will be 70 years old.
I can only wish that when or if I join him at that age, I'll be as fit and skinny as he is.
