  2. Here's a thought……….The Urban Oasis is going to be located in a major city where Jazz Music is popular.
    According to USA Today, the Top 10 Jazz Cities in America are:
    1. Detroit, MI
    2. Oakland, CA
    3. New Orleans, LA
    4. Chicago, IL
    5. Denver, CO
    6. DC
    7. St. Louis, MO
    8. Minneapolis, MN
    9. Seattle, WA
    10. Austin, TX

    • Good find SummerSilver, but NKC left jazz but not entirely. It's funny seeing Austin TX on the top 10 Jazz Cities list.

  4. No idea. But since he recorded on Capitol, I will throw D.C. into the mix.

  9. Clue One: Nat King Cole……..Jazz Music.
    Clue Two: A full circle……..Monmouth Park Racetrack.
    Clue Three: "How Sweet it is"…..Name of song by Marvin Gaye, Blues Music.

    Jazz and Blues Music……….translation could be:
    The Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Festival which will take place at Monmouth Park Racetrack, offers two full days and nights of jazz, blues, and food.

    Location in New Jersey??
