ISSUE 79: SOUNDS OF SURPRISE

The Magazine
In a critic's famous phrase, all jazz is 'the sound of surprise', but some jazz sounds are more surprising than others. Exercise your eyebrows - and ears - with jazz on unusual instruments, from harp to harmonica to hot fountain pen.

The Music
The instruments may be unusual, but the jazz is straightforwardly fine, whether it's played on flute, bassoon or jug. Hear Fats Waller at the pipe organ, the hot Hawaiian guitar of Benny Nawahi and the rollicking jive of The Spirits of Rhythm.
