Jazz on the Tube

For just a few days now I’ve been receiving mysterious e-mails from “Jazz on the Tube.” At first I wondered if they were spam, and I was afraid to click on the links inside.

So I clicked the link and was taken to a simple page with a narrow, white field against a black border and a YouTube video at the center.

The song, “I Want the World to Stop,” sounds just as dark and groovy and infectious as you might imagine. I’ve listened to it about 69 times already.
