A snaky groove

I'm not a big fan of spotlighting standards, but then this one came on the stereo on a recent cold evening while I was quietly reading at home, and suddenly, it was blammo! Living room dance party featuring myself and my wife, who is more than forgiving/amused about my spontaneous dance moves. Isn't that what jazz is all about, after all?
A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

Awesome track. Jazz needs to own its dance side (hence all the 'tears' shed over Donald Byrd recently). Just because Wynton Marsalis says this, doesn't mean it's false!
