Hi Lew. Thanks for the suggestions. I do have 78rpm records

of Armstrong, Bennett, the King Cole Trio, Fats Waller, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Jimmy Rushing, Billy Eckstine, etc., but I will mention again the phrase in my original post, "appeals to me."

In my short exposure to jazz in the last 2 or 4 years, I prefer instrumenal jazz over jazz vocalists. I do like Baker, Troup, and Allison, but I don't particularly like Bennett, Armstrong, Crosby, Martin, Torme, Davis, Lawrence, Damone, Hartman, Prysock, JimmyRushing, Joe Williams, etc. It's just a personal preference, just like we don't all like the same music. Heck, I don't even like Ella Fitzgerald that much, even though I have several of her 78s. I do like Billie Holiday however.

I guess I never thought of Ray Charles music as jazz, and I do have several lf his LPs.

I did look up your suggestion of Charles Brown,as I had not heard him before. I do like his music, but the couple songs I heard were more like blues to me. I realize that jazz and blues do intersect at times, and I do like some blues.
