It's Jazz Day at the Monday Music Mambo:

1. Who are some of your favorite jazz musicians? If you don't have any, then just name five jazz musicians that you've heard of.

I don't really have any favorites, because I don't really listen to jazz that much. So I'll just name five of them. Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, Miles Davis.

2. Do you own any jazz albums? Any kind of jazz will do, even swing.

I own a Brian Setzer Orchestra album (The Dirty Boogie), and I have an album called "Jazz Gershwin" which features versions of songs from the Gershwin songbook performed by jazz greats.

3. Sax, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, guitar, drums - what's your favorite jazz instrument?

I love how jazz drummers play, so drums would have to be my favorite. I am also fond of piano.

4. If you had a jazz band of your own, what would you call it?

I think I'd call my band "Delicious." Just Delicious.
