”That jazz” is referring to a miracle in music that happened in the beginning of 1900s when people from a big variation of ethnical and cultural background inspired each other to play in a new fashion. Luckily all this coincided with the development of new inventions like the phonograph recordings, photography and film so that it became in part documented and still can be enjoyed today. In my early teens I happened to be exposed to ”that jazz” and it struck a string deep within me that has kept vibrating ever since.

I’m Sorry I Made You Cry
The jazz heroes Jack Teagarden and Eddie Condon are the main responsible ones that transformed this sentimental ballad into a possible jazz vehicle and inspired me and others to play and sing it.
I'm sorry, dear, so sorry dear
I'm sorry I made you cry!
Won't you forget, won't you forgive?
Don't let us say goodbye!
One little word, one little smile,
One little kiss won't you try?
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh,
I'm sorry I made you cry!
