Martha Wainwight - Comin' Tonight (promo single)

R.I.P. Without his participation, many bands and albums would have sounded very different from what they were. Will spin this tomorrow in memoriam:

I bet he kicked himself more than once for doing so.

He was a regular with a local jazz promoter, too. I was there every year. Saw him perform more often than any other jazz musician, locals included.

Walton and Harris were a great team, and when you add Carter and Higgins ........

R.I.P. - thanks for the music and your contribution to the encouragement of women in jazz.

This morning:

I followed it with the companion album, they were such a great team. Nelson's capacities as a sax player are underestimated, IMHO. Now playing: Doug Raney, Something's Up

This afternoon:
