My Friend's New Blog Dedicated to Jazz in the 1990s

[HutchFan]

My friend Dan Robey has just launched a new blog that's dedicated to jazz recordings from the 1990s.  He's reviewing two recordings per week throughout the year. 

He just made his first two posts.

If you'd like to take a look, the URL is https://jazzinthe1990s.blogspot.com/

Enjoy!
