[Tango-L] [OT][OT][OT] Prima

[Carol Shepherd]

Too late Doug!

My nitpick to your nitpick to Steve's nitpick to my off-topic post is 
that Prima was active in ALL eras and jazz genres from 20's to 70's.

Prima's versatility, sheer creative output and musical longevity are 
directly comparable to Piazzola.  (shameless attempt at topic relevance).

I'm done.  I promise.  Back to tango.
