This is a remarkable performance, the percussion-less trio stay amazingly tight. The ability of the bassist really stands out here I think, he doesn’t miss a beat and does a solo that comfortably matches the also excellent work of Russell and Benny. Definitely worth a listen!
Buuut, Jazz remains firmly in the top spot of course, and it doesn’t get much better than this…
A Night In Tunisia
Shocking as this may be, I have other musical interests outside of Blues and Jazz, and this is one of them: Debussy.
This piece creates an absolutely luscious scene, and is some genius writing.

And whadda you know, Sinatra did a version too!
Long time no post…
I’ve become more adoring of Dexter Gordon’s recording Tom Jobim’s ‘Wave’, only yesterday did I find out it was written by Jobim, and hearing his recording of it after having listened to the very different take on it by Gordon was a weird but amusing and enjoyable experience!
Albert King
Easy to forget that the Flying V found a lot of its early success in blues music

John Coltrane - Equinox
Stumbled across this the other day. Gorgeous! Some of Coltrane’s finest I think.
The subtle melancholy is beautiful…
Machine Prints Food Smells On Postcards
O.k this is pretty crazy, The “Food printer” has a camera, a smell extractor and a printer. When you’re ready to go the camera snaps a shot of the food while the smell extractor gathers the smells and the printer than prints the postcard with aroma ink.
What.
This is hilarious.
Surely this could be used to sent extra unpleasant hate mail too?
