Walkin' - Stanley Turrentine

I really like how Stanley changed the shape of his oral cavity while playing to get different vowel sounds out of his sax. It makes for vox humana expression. I learned a lot from listening to Mr.T. He's my all-time second favorite sax player.

Aleksandr Borodin - Polovetsian Dances from "Prince Igor"

I have this on CD by a different conductor ( Evgeny Svetlanov and the USSR symphony orchestra) and I like my CD version better, but this one is still very nice.

Another Star - Stevie Wonder

IMO one of his all-time best cuts.

And a jazz cover. I've always liked Mr. Harris' touch on the piano.

Interesting:

The Girl From Ipanema is a far weirder song than you thought

A little theory is involved

 

That one keeps coming up on my recommended videos list...  I guess I'll just have to watch it!

Casey Jones - Grateful Dead

I'm not a Dead fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like some of their work, and this is one.

If you compare the studio with the live cuts, you can see how the "Wrecking Crew" or whoever the studio cats were improved the song.

I noticed in the e-newspaper that it is Ian Anderson's birthday today:

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

 

And with one of my favorite of his flute solos
