Jazz and the Journal
I just took a break from studying for dinner and a quick read through the Wall Street Journal’s weekend edition, and I stumbled across this article from Terry Teachout covering Youtube and the future of the fine arts and on-demand video on the back page.
Visit Teachout’s site and scroll down till you get to the Video section on the right-hand column, where you’ll find an incredible directory of classic jazz, rock, and other videos available on youtube. I could lose myself for hours clicking through all of these:
