(Super)Heidi from the Netherlands compiled another super alphabet.
She writes: “Too much joy not to jump in on Veit's A to Z. […] Thanks for taking it up and plug it, really fun to go through all of them and discover things.”
I agree, these alphabets are a lot of fun and in every compilation I find at least one song I don't have in my music library!

One track should be:
“Down Home Jump” by Lionel Hampton…?
You’re right Stephan. Heidi already corrected the title but I didn’t until now! 🙂
