Houston swamp boogie queen Katie Webster with some advice that maybe all of us could use right about now. Katie was Otis Redding's piano player when Otis made this song famous, but I like Katie's version just as much. I was lucky to see her live twice. She was a virtuoso!

Zbonprés Sessions - Wajdi Riahi

The closest thing I've ever heard to the classic Jarret / DeJohnette / Peacock trio, while still sounding new. Riahi is definitely one my top pianists now.
