Jazz Humor

Who says there's no humor in jazz? This online Jazz Joke Archive contains a host of howlers for every occasion. Gags are divided into nine categories. "The Side Man's By-Laws," for example, lists 27 rules for session players, like "If you don't know it, play harmony" and "Always bum a ride." "Dispensational Jazzology" offers mock-Biblical text peppered with the names of jazz legends like Monk and Miles. There's even an entire page of funny anecdotes about the famously voluble jazz drummer Buddy Rich. Share this with the jazz lover in your life. It's guaranteed to raise a smile.
