We Real Cool SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL. We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon. Louis Armstrong was once asked "What is Jazz?" A little confused about the question, Louis answered, "Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know." But you know you've heard it before. Jazz surrounds every part of the our musak filled days. These three hours are filled with the jazy, bluesy sounds that have reined you in over the years. Join your host August as he walks you through the music that's floated around you.
[Rein In August hosted by August, airs every Monday from 10 pm to 1 am only on CJLO!] Contact the show at: playmysong@augustism.com |

 Under the Stars of Jazz No sooner do the crooners hit the airwaves that a bit of inspiration comes my way. So to celebrate the opening song of this week's Rein In August -- Paolo Conte's Sotto le Stelle del Jazz -- I've put together a drink recipe to savour along side the juicy tunes of the upcoming, long summer days. Italianito 1 teaspoon powdered sugar Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces) 4 mint leaves 1 sprig of mint Limoncello (2 ounces) 2 ounces club soda Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (or a "collins" glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it. Add the powdered sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a long wooden impliment, though you can also use the back of a fork or spoon if one isn't available). Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the limoncello and stir, and top off with the club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig. recipe developed by Aldo Parise |
