The JZ School post set itself the difficult task of finding out the favorite jazz tunes of some of our favorite musicians. Not an easy task, ever tried asking as musician what music they like best? However, with the help of a thumbscrew and a tickling stick we managed to extract some answers which are either tunes or albums.

I*m afraid to say that a few musicians are still in the JZ dungeon having failed to provide an answer. We are currently torturing them with the infamous tunes below until they squeak.

Cotton Eye Joe 每 Rednex

I*ve never been to me 每 Charlene

The Final Countdown - Europe

'Gettin' Jiggy Wit It' - Will Smith 

Convoy - C.W. McCal

Does anyone have any suggestions for tunes we can torture them with to speed up the process?
