J is for Jazz: The Axeman of New Orleans & Django Reinhardt

In this episode Casey and Karen, again, take the topic in widely different directions. Casey tells us about The Axe Man of New Orleans and his mysterious connection to Jazz. Karen tells us about Django Reinhardt, the first lead guitarist ever and the man who provided the soundtrack for the Anti-Nazi movement in Paris.
