I always thought most jazz was reefer jazz. I recently had to move into an apartment. They have several signs around saying "Refer a friend..." I'm seriously going to have to measure the lettering and print something out to tape over the "Refer"s.

Thanks for the reeferral my friend.  I don't have that, but for some reason the name Mez Mezzrow rings a bell. My damn Miles autobiography and book on Kind Of Blue got soaked. Sounds like a good read, from an Amazon.com review: "The club owners who employed Mezzrow were prohibition era gangsters including Al Capone. The gangsters were interesting louts. Capone once wanted Mezzrow to fire a girl singer who was developing a romantic relationship with Capone's younger brother. Capone said, "she can't sing anyway." Mezzrow was so upset that he told Capone, "why, you couldn't even tell good whisky if you smelled it and that's your racket, so how do you figure to tell me about music." (sic) Feisty!" ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| I was bought up around jazz musicians,my father being a tenor sax player,and i can honestly say that the "reefer culture" was certainly more prominent in the jazz world than that of rock. |
