Hey Jazz-nerds, quick question: when I was younger someone told me that Billie Holiday used to shoot heroin into her vagina in an effort to hide her track marks. 1) has anyone else heard about this? Is there any truth to the claim? and 2) did she do it to get high or did she do it in an effort to numb her genitals so that she could participate in sex work?

Also:

The origin of "ragtime": did you know that ragtime music started in brothels in the deep south? When women live together, their menstrual periods begin to synch up, therefore prostitutes in brothels tended to all menstruate during the same week, leaving the house unable to make money for that week. In an effort to bring customers into the brothel when they couldn't have sex, the brothels started featuring musical entertainers with a new upbeat style of music and this is how RAG-TIME came to be! How hilarious!
 
All right jazz-fiends, I've got a modern jazz/electronic track that pretty much floored me on the first listen. Love the composition, the vocals, and THAT BASS might be the best part. And while I'm here, I'm going to shamelessly plug the show that this song opens for...BOSCH is truly the best written and acted, and all-around most original crime show of the decade. But I have to mention that the main character, in addition to being the quintessential gently bent detective bringing all those noir vibes...is also a total jazz fiend! His record collection in the show is pretty rad, and during season 4 he adopts a stray dog and names it COLTRANE... <3 I mean, if you like a gritty crime show, it'll hook you...

Anyway, I'll leave you to it. This one is THE JAM.
