Saturday Funky Solutions (019)

While scoring, remember to note how many points correct answers are worth in each section.

*(Whiteman's was the first to popularize jazz in 1924; but that was at the Aeolian Hall. Maybe Dad remembers!)
**(Kenny was an MJQ'er; Conneie succeeded him on the skins ... Who's Tony Jackson? A noted 88'er of the New Orleans school. (No relation to MJQ vibist Milt))
***(Louie took some highly publicized blasts at bop, but the distinguished author of this one was Condon ... and, tis said (why disbelieve it), he immediately proved his point!)
****(now, you do get it, don't you?)
*****(no, not Father O'Connor!)

Sure, the tech isn't timely, but if they're on the phone to each other (ages before even radio-telephones were a thing in cars) as it seems, it really is a fairly prescient cover.
