1 comment:
There was an interesting story on NPR this
morning, about Lester Young's impact on our
language ...
It seems he was the first one to use the word
'cool' in the way we do now (when NOT talking
about ambient temperatures, that is) ... and
he was also the first to use the word 'bread'
to mean money. There was more, but those
are the two that caught my attention fully.
He died 5 years before you were born,
so that's a pretty good reason he isn't on
your jazz-concerts-attended list, eh what?
-- dhsh :D))
