JAZZ TRIVIA:
Last week's question:
In the mid to late 1960s, this band leader rode a wave of top 10 and top 20 pop hits with a distinctive jazz flavor to become one of the biggest stars in the world. He burst onto the mainstream with a performance during an Academy Awards telecast of an Oscar nominated Dusty Springfield song from a James Bond movie. For Jazz Trivia Expert Status, can you name this band leader, the name of his band at the time, the name of the song, and the name of the movie?
The answers were Sergio Mendes, Brazil '66, The Look of Love, and Casino Royale. Paul Cierley and Denise Parks were the first and only two to answer correctly, thus earning Jazz Trivia Expert Status! Congratulations!
Here is this week's Jazz Trivia Question:
It was the title to one of his autobiographies, inscribed on at least two of his instruments, and present on his stationery. It resulted as a contraction of several other nicknames he once had, bestowed upon him by Percy Brooks, the editor of Melody Maker magazine. For Jazz Trivia Expert status, can you name the artist and his famous nickname?
