Tommy Dorsey's Boogie Woogie

Such a thrilling and impelling piece.





 I read somewhere that "jazz" once meant "to fuck". Dunno how true that is, though.

I believed that about jazz=sex too, but perhaps not. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(word) - which is not as carefully documented as it could be, but who knows.

Thanks for the wikipedia link. Interesting.

In South Africa, my maid used to refer to sex as "jig-a-jig". No connection, just that words can mutate and shift, both pronunciation and meaning.
