'Allow Me' by John Seward Johnson II, grandson of one of the J&J founders.
funny thing is most people who live in Portland don't use umbrellas.

Walkin'
Hancock, Carter, Cobham 1983

it will absolutely break my heart when Ron Carter passes. his bass has driven the majority of the musical beat in my life.

the solo rhythm portion of Autumn Leaves from the Miles Quintet in Milan '64.
once Shorter wraps up his piece, it's Carter, Hancock, and Williams finding their groove with a healthy Carter solo in the middle

Willow Weep for Me
Switzerland 1984

Red, that track you posted in blues redux is out

Drums: Don Alias. played with electric Miles, Herbie, Weather Report, Jaco, Nina Simone, and many others.

Drums: Mike Shrieve. drummer for Santana in the early years, including the Woodstock performance. you've heard his drum solo on Soul Sacrifice.

This really rewards listening with headphones.

once again, all the best live jazz performances were apparently recorded at Montreux.
somewhere on this planet is at least one living human who has been there for every show that's ever been played.
if i ever had access to a time machine, i might just use my one time ticket for this experience.

This performance was super close to never happening due to their plane arriving super delayed, they came in with no rehearsal, fresh off the plane. There's a lot of cracks and technical problems but it doesn't matter, they kill it.

Eric Gale (DAWG), Richard Tee (DAWG), Steve Gadd (DAWG), Gordon Edwards (DAWG), Cornell Dupree (DAWG).

yup...fantastic Stuff

Sunday Jazz question: will there be a Jazz Band in Heaven? Perhaps even a Jazz Street with multiple venues. It would certainly help relieve the boredom of living forever.

Trick question: what’s the best Jazz quintet in Uruguay?
