Now that my quest for rap is over (although I've yet to get everything reccomended because of school) I'm looking into a musical genre I've always loved: 20s and 30s jazz.

Benny Goodman aka 'The King of Swing' for starters. He was absolutely amazing. His family fled Russia when the Soviets were taking over. I don't know what his ACTUAL name was but 'Benny Goodman' is his 'Americanized' name.

Anagennese, the Rise of the Black Hand
