JazzWax List: 10 for Thanksgiving

Last year I served Thanksgiving dinner for song-minded readers. This year the JazzWax audience has expanded, so I was up early shopping and preparing a larger musical feast. Remember, no grabbing, no reaching across plates, and be sure to use the right fork. To all my JazzWax readers worldwide, Happy Thanksgiving. Dig in!

And to end the evening on the right note--following inadequate performances by Bix ("In a Fog") and Bunny ("My Starter Won't Start")--a spritely rendition of "Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz" by "Young Alky" himself, S'pea D. Seltzer (1961).
