- west tennessee/arkansas accents fascinate me (eg. loo-is-iana)

- i do not know if this is technically big band jazz but i enjoyed it
- bye bye love was stuck in my head all day
- i just love jazz. i love some banger instrumentals and some backup singers and some beautiful vocals
- there is a certain kind of wailing string opener that a lot of slower/sadder jazz pieces use and it enthralls me every single time bro
- sometimes they sound like the pieces that would play in the background of old peanuts features/shows
- only not a 5/5 because some of the slow songs blurred together for me. cut down the length of the album a little bit and it would've been so perfect
