Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks - Livery Stable Blues

Hiromi: Wonderland

Always In The Season by Pomplamoose

"If jazz could be taken into a laboratory and put through a distilling process, two things would remain after everything else had evaporated: the blues and the beat.  The blues would remain because jazz began as the voice of an oppressed people who used music to ease the burden of living.  The beat would still be there because the physical motion of rhythm helps release the whole body from tension, making everything more bearable." ~ Henry Mancini, liner notes on The Blues and the Beat

This quote from the composer of Peter Gunn, The Pink Panther, and Breakfast at Tiffany's seems to speak of the power of music and the bleakness of humanity, however while listening to The Blues and the Beat I feel as though I've entered into a lounge frequented by only the most dashing 60's era spies.  There is a great rendition of "Misty" on side one and, whenever you hear the piano, know that it is the one and only John "Little Johnny Love" Williams, the prolific composer of blockbuster film scores!

Side 1:
The Blues
Smoke Rings
Misty
Blue Flame
After Hours
Mood Indigo

Side Two:

How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me
Sing, Sing, Sing
