@omackson @TheJazzHerald @csade1 @drowsygeek @2112Westy @ianandrewrimmer @Schmiffy12 @NorfolkFlyer100 @grbenny @stevewfolds @naomiwestvalley Some tremendous soloing there. Thanks for sharing.

He really was sui generis. I haven't heard anyone try this as a vocal since I first heard his interpretation, which holds up beautifully after 50 years.

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Al Jarreau, especially jazz vocals. He used his voice as an instrument…..so talented. I assume you’ve heard this track before? youtu.be/hhq7fSrXn0c?si…

Evergreen: I sure miss the Cold War.

Happy Birthday to one of the great singer/pianist/arrangers of our time. @TheJazzHerald @cath @grbenny @stevewfolds @PetitaTurtle #jazzeveryday #womeninjazz

5 הרוגים הלילה מפגיעות של טילים איראניים 💔 4 מהם הן פלסטיניות תושבות הכפר בית עווא שליד חברון שבגדה המערבית שנהרגו מפגיעה במספרה, ו-1 הוא עובד זר מתאילנד שנהרג במושב בשרון. המוות שלהם לא יפתח מהדורות חדשות, אבל גם לחיים שלהם היו משמעות. יהיה זכרם ברוך ודי למלחמה.

@SwanstonRobert @TheJazzHerald @csade1 @drowsygeek @mlflws @ianandrewrimmer @NorfolkFlyer100 @grbenny @stevewfolds @2112Westy @naomiwestvalley @dicksjazzlicks @atco4 He's got great range, and his tone in the stratosphere way above the staff is fantastic.
