Track Review Round-up
Jazz.com continues its quixotic but noble pursuit of reviewing all the great -- and even the not-so-great -- tracks since Buddy Bolden first hit a flatted third. Here is a small sampling of some of the track reviews posted in the last few days. As always, we provide sly and savvy assessments, and a ranking based on our proprietary 100 point scale. We also include, whenever possible, links for fast (and legal) downloading.
