I miss this kind of hard, by the seat of the pants blowing in this age of Real Book, super-cerebral performances, with shows instead of sets, and covers instead of interpretations. And what's that again about Keith Jarrett's vocalizing ? http://youtu.be/PgHL3DlRjFY
Oscar was one of the biggest singers in jazz for quite a while! I love this album - its got everything I'm looking for in a jazz recording. And it doesn't hurt that it was recorded at The Orpheum here in Vancouver.
