This is the guy that taught me and Kass to appreciate jazz, literally. He was our old jazz and music appreciation professor in college. On a couple of occasions we went to see him and his band play around town. Neat guy, and some people said we kind of resembled each other.

I always found this sound makes for good study music. This is his third album, I believe, and it’s pretty strong. Better than the last one.

Currently enjoying this sweet cover of one of my favorite Blossom Dearie tracks. That’s not the only Blossom Dearie song they cover, too. Apparently somebody over there is a fan.

If there were more covers of her music I’d love to do another cover battle, but alas. Blossom is too much underappreciated.

My working playlist for today. Makes me think about remoting from the old Collin Creek mall. I miss that place.

I’m afraid we’re all out of Curtis Mayfields.
