Hi, all....I shared with you that I was going to expand what I offer here past the sexual. Here's a good example...I sing jazz around Chicago. One of the great jazz pianists, Oscar Peterson, passed away a couple of months ago. This is Oscar at the Montreau Jazz Festival in 1977. Behind him are two great bassists -- the wonderful Ray Brown and the great Dane Niels Pedersen . Note that there is no percussion playing....Oscar didn't need it... He patted his foot, much like Count Basie did. Now many of you might consider this 'old school', and you probably would be right. But quality never really dies. Just watch and listen; observe the interaction between the players. And enjoy the utter command that Oscar has in such an easy way.

glad to see you are bareing more of your soul for us this time. It's too noisy here right noiw to listen to the video but I shall do when I have more peace
Glad to see you back Ron, thanks for letting me know! I'd love to hear you perform. Have you got anything for us?
Lady -- this music is, indeed, enjoyed more in peace than in noise!
Vi -- When I get the courage, I will post a clip of my singing. It's not that I lack confidence in my ability...it's that sharing it SO openly requires, well... time to find my way to do it. I ask your patience.
I'm not a jazz fan but that was lovely. Thank you for sharing.
