Jazz Song Alphabet Vol. 19 - by Paul Claydon

Paul is today's A-Z list creator.

With his list, he sent this comment:

“Having been guest DJ for many years it has been great to DJ my own events for a number of years now as I have been itching to share some of my music collection for others to dance to.
