Love how Ben Riley doesn't even bother using the rack tom. Genius from all players, must say.

indeed
once heard someone suggest Monk plays like he's trying to kill ants on the keyboard

first song is Lulu's Back in Town, which i've discovered is an old classic written for the 1935 musical film Broadway Gondolier

Fats Waller with a version from the same year, with lyrics

another from the godfather Art Tatum, also '35

obviously Tatum was a huge influence on Oscar (and countless others of all instruments)

some say it influenced this song from Booker T

and of course this classic version, also with lyrics

Check out Newport Jazz Festival lineup:

Saw Samara Joy last year. She's fabulous. And although not quite jazz, 83 year old Irma Thomas is appearing.

I saw Irma in Austin 20 years ago and she killed it.

I agree.

I had a teacher, who I doubt ever went beyond the 8th grade, who told me to practice a certain chord progression until I was so bored with it that I could play it while reading the box scores in the morning paper. Only then would I be able to "play" it. This seems to confirm what they were saying in the article.

I saw Herbie Hancock at The Palms. The person I bought from on Stubhub flaked and they offered alternative seats. Anyway, I was in the front row, right in front of Herbie. It was also his birthday, so just an extra special experience.

Spectacular show. Obviously, anyone playing with this guy is a beast. But man, what an effing band.

Def. See this tour if you get a chance. IDK how many people in this thread are in Vegas, but I'd welcome some discussion of live music here.
