Famous Jazz Musicians

There are SO MANY Famous jazz musicians. But I don't want to just tell you about the same old ones you always hear about.

Many great famous jazz players were famous for a short time and then faded from the public eye... These men and women were original musicians!

Alot of these folks could not read or write, and these cats didn't care to learn to read music! I love that attitude... they figured it out...just let the music flow!
