Here’s a mix of my favorite jazz
Track Listing
1.Ella and Louis – Can’t we be Friends
2.Lincoln Center Jazz – C Jam Blues
3.Oscar Peterson – Someday my Prince will Come
4.Count Basie Orchestra – Li’l Darling
5.Gene Harris – Take the A Train
6.Frank Sinatra and Duke E – Yellow Days
7.Ella with Count Basie Orchestra – Basella
8.Lester Young with Oscar Peterson – Takes Two to Tango
NOTE: Sorry for the crappy hosting of the mix. I want to get to where I can embed a little player into the blog post itself. Does anyone know how I do this?
UPDATE: Audio now hosted by the much cleaner and more convenient DivShare. Thanks John!

Will,
Nice looking blog.
It doesn’t look like ZShare allows you to embed, right?
I’ve used http://www.divshare.com, for example here:
http://johnlknight.blogspot.com/2007/06/reem-kelani-is-diaspora-palestinian.html
But there are other services, such as http://www.odeo.com
They give you the emebd code a la YouTube, and are a lot easier than hosting and embedding from your own server.
On a different subject, I presume you saw the NYT article on Jazz Diplomacy, if not check it out:

Standard apologies if you’ve seen this stuff before.
Best wishes,
