As I stated b4, classic rock is mostly my thang. Most jazz/big band doesn't do it for me, BUT.....yesterday I picked up the LP - Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz

I listened 3 times and will put it on again today - its Charles on the B-3 with the Count Basie band and arranged by Quincy Jones....Wow, it was "over the top"
The point being - I had traditionally avoided both jazz and big band, but when presented with a great example, came around quickly to enjoy it...
