Jazz Song Alphabet Vol. 15 - by Kris Bauwens

I'm very happy that my friend Kris from Belgium sent an alphabet as well:

“This is my selection for the song alphabet. I tried to get rid of Earl Hines and his XYZ but the “X” is a hard one :-)) I didn't take a lot of time to try and search for another one.”

By the way, Kris runs with his buddy Sep Vermeersch an interesting vinyl DJ project called “Ghentlemen“.

Also this list was already posted on Veit's page “Veit talks”, who is the originator of the Jazz Song Alphabet series.
