DESCRIPTION:
"Shedding." "Chops." "Rataricious." Sometimes it seems like jazz cats have their own language. Of course, many times those words also end up in other peoples' mouths: Terms like "hipster," "crib" and "the man" all came from the jazz world over 70 years ago. You dig?

Jazz Night In America takes a brief look at where jazz slang came from, with lots of colorful language along the way.
