You Tube

I chose the Duke Ellington video below (also check out the ones streaming below once you start it...Satin Doll is nice) because I remember all the school children coming in for information about jazz musicians for a school project. We quickly ran out of books. I love the way they could have actually heard and seen these musicians as well. I can imagine putting something like this in with a guide to books and other reference resources. The multiplicity of all these resources just blows me away sometimes. Making them more accessible seems imperative. (For what I dislike about this site, well, I can see there's some really dumb stuff on there too.)
