Teddy Wilson (24 November 1912 – 31 July 1986) was an American jazz pianist.
[For last year's limerick on Scott Joplin click here.]
When Wilson sat down at the keys,
With polished and suave expertise,
His elegant swing
(A miraculous thing)
Was the breezy quintessence of ease.

Bolshevik Name
He was dubbed the "Marxist Mozart" by Howard "Stretch" Johnson due to his support for left-wing causes.... -- Wikipedia
When you’re given a musical nickname,
Whether grand sobriquet or a hick name,
It has to be said,
If your leanings are Red,
It might be a hope-it-won’t-stick name.
