How about some musical humor? This made me laugh. Much needed lately.

Coleman Hawkins, Body and Soul, 1939

#JazzSky
Jazz OTD: October 11, 1939 - the recording of one of the all-time Jazz singles, Coleman Hawkins’s indelible rendition of “Body and Soul.” As close to perfect as recorded music can get. #jazzsky

Hank Mobley

#JazzSky
Jazz OTD: Hank Mobley led one of his classic Blue Note sessions, leading to his album "Hi Voltage," on October 9, 1967. With Jackie McLean (as), Blue Mitchell (tp), an early-career John Hicks (p), Bob Cranshaw (b), and Billy Higgins (d). The irresistible album closer. #jazzsky
