What Jazz Is has 33 Jazz vocabulary words and or phrases.  The educational source for this piece Whitney credits to Wynton Marsalis's Jazz Educational Programs and his in house rehearsal sessions. Hear Eddie Durham's Son playing guitar with the Walter Blanding Jr.and  Walters arrangement. Check CT On In Walked Bud at the age of 87! Using his technique of fugal and trumpet for a bit and then  blowing' a strong solo.  Wycliffe Gordon has a plunger technique that NOBODY can touch.  Whitney claims she was inspired by Skains swampy Nawlins' stepping at his 40th Birthday for the song; Loose Duck which Wynton wrote the music and Whitney wrote the lyrics.
