the "joy" of JAZZ

When I think of jazz, I think of this little guy, Owl Jolson! This cartoon was the best. All he wanted to do was sing jazz tunes instead of the classical stuff his dad wanted him to practice. It all turned out well in the end when his Dad saw his potential as a jazz singer! Here's a link to a blog that has screen shots, the video and words to the song

Do you remember this toon? What do you think of when you think about jazz?

Thanks for stopping by and remember, it's International Jazz Day on Saturday, so be sure to listen to some jazz!

    The boy with the feathers is all about Jazz. I enjoyed the cartoon and the animation of the characters is very well done.
