Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall 1938
First time they allowed the "new music called jazz" at the hallowed institution. Before that, it was only philharmonic and opera. They replaced the fixed seats with tables and chairs to create a caberet setting. Another thing about this besides Benny's great clarinet playing, is percussionist Gene Krupa, who provides a strong driving beat. This one concert changed music in America.
Sorry. I know I've done this before. I'm not senile. I'm just trying to impart a bit of knowledge. This is the exact moment how and when jazz became main stream music in America. Carnegie Hall, Benny Goodman, 1938. And this performance established the standard format of all subsequent jazz performances ... especially after WWII into the fifties and sixties. Amazing.
Remember, this was 1938. So erace everything in your mind and imagine this is new music. Now I know why my father loved this music. I grew up with this on his 78 and later LP albums. I didn't like it at the time. I liked The Stones, The Kinks, etc. And I still do. But as time went on, I began to appreciate the old stuff. And now I love it.

Music videos from this album:
Kind of like Weird Al if most of his humor were replaced with anger, any remaining berkeleys given stripped out, and sick electro beats stuffed in their place.
Contrary to popular knowledge, Townes Van Zandt wrote this great song. I think this version was recorded long before Willie sang it.
I'm a huge fan of Townes Van Zandt, love the music he created and performed, and miss him a lot.
In reply to Gary :
I never knew that. That and City of New Orleans are two of my favorite Willie Nelson songs.
Annie and I were at Fresco's in West Warwick tonight (our mainstay "Bill's Place" is closed for remodeling), and we were talking about country music with other patrons. I recounted my story about my oil burner service technician and Alan Jackson in Key West (which I've done here before), and why I really like Alan Jackson as a regular guy, as well as a superstar, and his music.
Deep Purple - House of the Blue Light
Nothing like a bit of old school hard rock, even if the album is over thirty yars old.
Quentin Tarantino takeover of a Spotify channel. Pretty much stuff from his movies, all of them.

Found a sad sweet cover of Allison Krauss’s “I’ll fly away” by Laura Oakes and Jess Roberts.
“I’ll Fly Away” Bluegrass Warning...
Makes me feel better about losing Mom this week.
Classic tenor sax ... smooth jazz from one of my favorite old-time artists. It's a beautiful summer evening in SoNE. I'm sitting on our patio surrounded by our tall flower gardens (it's an outdoor room), the solar lanterns have popped on, I'm listening to vintage jazz and drinking Bordeaux imported by Moniseur Touton (best European wine importer, but only available on the East Coast). Shorts, T-shirt, and flip flops. Doesn't get any better than this. Fall, winter, spring you say? No way. Summer is the ticket.
Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster
Two great tenor sax players
