For fans of jazz, the Jazz Old Time site will be a fun way to listen to few well-known chestnuts from the early days of this musical idiom. Of course, those who don't know much about jazz will appreciate listening to a few new artists as well. The site features over 18,000 songs in the public domain, and visitors can browse through the selections by artists or take a look at a few sample playlists. As one might suspect, artists like King Oliver, Meade Lux Lewis, and Louis Armstrong are featured prominently, though early recordings from later artists, such as Stan Getz, are also available. The site might also be recommended to students in a music appreciation course.
