cool. i just watched a JC/MD doc (netflix) that included this performance. i ran through a half dozen other audio versions of so what afterwards and this one (for me) cooks the most. so intense, yet sooo laid back! - bill 4-19-2010 1:51 pm [add a comment]

yeah. nice smoking break mid tune. heres the listing on netflix. my dad was into jump jive and boogie woogie (louis jordan / louis prima, etc), swing (ella, basie, ellington) and hee-haw era country (including bro ray). i think i made him feel bad about not turning me on to hot jazz when i was getting into that after high school. glad for the exposure i got though now. so now im trudging through my missing free-bop education. ...and loving it. ...but first, some sugarloaf going out to LM's childhood. - bill 4-19-2010 6:24 pm [add a comment]
Two of my all-time fave albums: My Favorite Things and Kind of Blue.
You also should spend some time paying attention to Bill Evans. The guy was just fucking brilliant beyond belief.
