This episode was inspired by somebody, when I played and sang “How Deep Is The Ocean?” asking me if I was playing ‘jazz chords’. So this episode tries to discover, using the same Socratic method as in the lyrics to that tune, what exactly is a ‘jazz chord’. I play some great music, as usual.

You’ll hear recordings ranging from Les Paul and Mary Ford all the way to the amazing piano intricacies of Adam Makowicz. And between that….Frank Sinatra, Bill Evans, Jennifer Scott & Miles Black, Peggy Lee, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Carol Welsman, and ending with a very jazzy British rock group from the mid 1960’s.

Oh! We can’t forget the jazz version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
