Listening to Jazz At The Philharmonic. Here's a video of the 1966 BBC performance by T-Bone Walker, with the JATP band, consisting of Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, trumpets; Teddy Wilson, piano; Louis Bellson, drums; Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, James Moody, Benny Carter, saxes; and Bob Cranshaw, bass. T-Bone plays and sings his compositions "Woman, You Must Be Crazy" and "Goin' To Chicago." Clark Terry does a fun solo using just his mouthpiece.

Now playing The Cars - The Cars.
A perfect album start to finish. Just my opinion. Hell of a first release and better than most commercially successful artists ever manage in their entire career.

Good stuff. His playing is something else. I noticed that the audience was mostly actually listening and getting into the music, not holding up their phones and watching a tiny screen. Huh.

In keeping with the apocalypse, one of my favorite end of the world songs...
When the rooks were laid in piles
by the sides of the road,
they were crashing into the aerials,
hanging from the laundry lines.
And, gathered in a field,
they were burned in a feathering pyre,
with their cold, black eyes.
When the swallows fell from the eaves,
and the gulls from the spires,
the starlings, in millions,
would feed on the ground where they lie.
and the ambulance men said
“there’s nowhere to flee for your life,”
so we stay inside,
and we’ll sleep until
the world of man is paralyzed.
Oh, the falconer awakes to the sound of the bells.
Overhead, and northbound,
they are leaving his life.
And each empty cage just rings in his heart
like a bell,
underneath these cold stars,
in their trembling light.
And he cries, “Amen, let their kingdom come tonight.
Let this dream be realized.”

Now playing Steely Dan - Gaucho.
A lot of great lyrics and playing on this one. Mark Knopfler even makes an appearance.
Tonight when I chase the dragon
The water may change to cherry wine
And the silver will turn to gold
Time out of mind...
