I was really hoping to find a clip of Song For My Father to complement my build-a-jazz-library list, but no joy. Never mind, this 1959 footage of the pianist's quintet performing another of his classics, Señor Blues, is a stunner. Hard bop doesn't get much funkier.
Dearieshe has just returned from Tesco and given me two 12-track CDs: one of Ella, one of Louis. 97p each. Hotter Than That.
