If you think there is no jazz before Coltrane, you may have come to the wrong place.
Blog bilingüe (español-inglés) en el que volcaré pensamientos aleatorios, escritos ocasionales e investigación específica sobre el jazz tradicional, con puntuales incursiones en décadas más recientes.
Una advertencia previa: si crees que el jazz nació cuando Coltrane emprezó a grabar en Impulse!, puede que hayas llegado al sitio equivocado.

Pardon me for being monolongual -- but I came to your blog through Organissimo and was enchanted. I've put you on my blogroll and hope you'll visit my jazz blog, "Jazz Lives" at WordPress. Enough self-advertisement: now I'm going to listen to some rare Dick Wellstood!
Cheers and thanks, Michael Steinman www.jazzlives.wordpress.com
Thanks for the kind words and, of course, no need to apologize for being monolingual.
Just started this project and hope that some day it could reach the high standards of Jazz Lives, which I've been reading for several months now and have already included on my blogroll.
I will try to include something in English on each post, either complete translations or at least excerpts or a summary.
Well, time to get back to my headphones, as Bud Freeman is playing "The Eel".
