Jimmy Carter was the only president who had a White House Jazz festival.

Never knew this was recorded, let alone broadcast. If we needed only one reason to love Jimmy Carter, it was this. Story goes he was so amazed by Cecil Taylor that he chased Cecil across the White House lawn to talk to him.

A truly remarkable man. Because he wasn’t a Washington insider, he only served one term as president. Many people believe that someone from Reagan‘s team negotiated with the Iranians so that the hostages would be released on the day of Reagan’s inauguration, Carter lost the presidency because of his inability to solve the hostage crisis.
