Jazz encompasses such a wide pallet of sounds, textures, and moods that at times may seem to defy definition or simple categorization. However, ask any jazz aficionado whether a given track is cookin', and their response would likely be, "just check out what your ears are telling you." Performances can be up tempo or down right slovenly, but you'll know in a moment whether or not it's cookin'. In this hour, we will explore some tracks that IMHO are cookin'.
