Jump The Blues Away

***

Because desperate times call for desperate measures, Monday morning we overcome the blues by leaping and bounding out of bed into the arms of  Paul Quinichette on tenor sax.

When I was a college student I would often go to the West End bar near Columbia University to listen to the Brooks Kerr trio. A young Phil Schapp was the host, and an equally young prodigy, Brooks Kerr, played a very tasteful stride piano, but it was the saxophone player, Paul Quinichette, who absolutely tore up the place every time.

Enhanced Mood

Monday morning, New Year’s Day, you’re nothing if not In The Mood. That’s Glenn Miller with the glasses, on lead trombone.

Happy 2018!
