Oh my, just unrestrained joy throughout from Oscar, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. Thank you JJ.

Loved the guy in suit and shades behind the trio.

Your Oscar link lead me to this from I think the same show. Way too long since I’d listened. Feels so far away these days. https://youtu.be/tCrrZ1NnCuM?si=TzoTG_X4B1A0XbsY

I’m an easy mark for any old line blues like Elmore. Jazz tastes run to the traditional. Coltrane, Oscar, Sonny Rollins, Errol Garner, etc. Have no idea what is happening in jazz “right now”; most of what I like dates from when color tv was a new thing. Not really paying attention to what’s being composed these days. You pesky kids get offa my lawn, I guess.

Makes me smile to hear you were "Luckies" - have smoked "Roth-Händle" - my cousin still going strong on that @80+ ;-)

Ah Martin, I miss'em... Quit cigarettes in 95, finally quit tobacco 25 years ago.
