That is a great album. Coltrane reigns in any excesses and Ellington gives us his edgier side. Brilliant!
Can’t Touch This.
if this comes on i always let it play out, did infantry basic at Fort Benning in ‘89 and this just came out, was driving with the CSM and another private somewhere right before July 4th and he was singing along to it in the radio, the things you never forget ?

God bless you, Margo................... What a voice!
I grew up in Canada and got to see and hear the Cowboy Junkies live a few times. The Trinity Sessions and their version of Sweet Jane blew me away when it was released.
I hope I get to see them again.
Today is Oscar Peterson's birth date in 1925.

Diana Krall, "The Look of Love" album.
Listened to Henley's Inside Job album again for the first time in a few years. Can't find most of his songs on YT of course, but this one deserves to be quoted in its entirety...IMO one of his very best lyrical narratives:
Damn It Rose
Maybe just a good night's sleep
Would have changed your troubled mind
From that rather permanent decision
So tragic, so unkind
Now, pain is what you've given
And sleep is what you'll get
So far away from that sweet baby child
Who hardly knew you yet
Now he'll grow up to be a fighter
Full of anger, full of shame
Like all the other haunted children
Who wonder why they came
And he'll be in and out of trouble
Until he stands up or he falls
But there will always be a shadow there
No matter how it goes
Damn it, Rose
Is this another cryptic message
Or some kind of cosmic quiz
If there's a lesson to be learned from this
Well, I don't know what it is
You could have given us the finger
Much more constructively than that
Now I sit here with the MTV
And your bloated, Burmese cat
We're being treated to the wisdom
Of some puffed up little fart
Doing exactly what I used to do-
Pretentions to anarchy and art
He speaks the language of a warrior
He mounts his misinformed attack
He wears the clothes of a dissenter
But there's a logo on his back
And it's a hollow rebellion
As rebellions mostly are
It's just another raging tempest in a jar
And the seasons keep on changing
And the wind blows hot and cold
Wish that you were here with us to watch this tide
As it ebbs and flows
Damn it, Rose
-- Don Henley, 2000
