Jazz Up Your Life With A Jazz Singer Out of Liberia

                                                                     

For those who don’t know, I’m a jazz lover.  I always enjoyed listening to the traditional Mandingo music because it’s the closest sound to jazz that comes out of Africa.  The first time I came across this brother and found out he sings jazz, I had to hear him sing.  The moment in opened his mouth, I felt in love.  He sounded great and it felt good to know he was from Liberia.  I was proud; I had to spread the gospel with you guys.
