Hey, y'all! It's about time we slow things down for all you cool cats and get into something real hip. I'm talking jazz. Bebop. Cool tunes to make you sink into a dreamlike state. Today we will be talking about a political party from Washington that was formed by an old jazz-man, his band, his bar employees, his regulars, and his mother-in-law. Today we cover Red Kelly, the bass player who promised to run for governor, so long as he never had to take it seriously.

**Side note, the song at the end of the episode is On Green Dolphin Street, featuring Ernestine Anderson on vocals, Red Kelly on bass, Jack Perciful on piano, Don "Earthquake" Ober on guitar, and Dave Coleman on drums.
