Which jazz personality – dead or alive (joking) – would make a great president? America needs a real choice next time around. Let’s keep the answers in the realm of good taste, please. |

Sonny Rollins is my choice. You probably have no idea how smart he is and what a social conscience he possesses. Of course, his veep should be Max Roach. For balance, Keith Jarrett would be the Secretary of State and Pat Metheny the UN Ambassador! |

Great list! On further review, unequivocally, it should be Tom Harrell for president and Keith Jarrett for UN Ambassador. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out exactly who goes where. |
