stoutfellow: My summer look (Summer)

Listening to Elvis. Wondering if anyone's ever written a Lovecraftean pastiche, "Are You Loathsome Tonight?".

I just ordered a Tommy James and the Shondells album. (The name evokes bubblegum in my mind, but this is the group that did "Crimson and Clover", "Draggin' the Line", and "Crystal Blue Persuasion". Pop it may be, but bubblegum it is not.)

I'm thinking I should add some more jazz to my collection. I know a lot of the big names, but are there any jazz fans out there who can recommend specific albums? (Maybe I should go after some big band stuff, too....)

Edited to fix the name of one song

Do you like your jazz slow or fast & snappy?

My tastes are pretty eclectic and my exposure to jazz minimal, so I don't really have a way to say. (In other genres, though, my collection includes a good range of tempos. Tempi?)

Do you like instrumental or vocals?

Again, it's hard to say. I do find it a bit more difficult to attach names and titles to pure instrumentals, for whatever that's worth. (By way of comparison, I know I've heard "Baby Elephant Walk" many times, but I can't call the tune to mind. "Alleycat" I can recall easily, but that's one of the few that I can.)
