Jazz Club: Oscar Peterson, “On The Sunny Side Of The Street”
Oscar Peterson is one of the best jazz pianists ever, and this is one of those pieces that has me hitting play again as soon as it’s over. Beautiful.
Nice.

Summertime by Chet Baker and co. Apologies for the corny video, but the music is beautiful.
Unbelievably, this track was recorded just a few days after the band got together. And a few days before that, one of Baker’s close friends had died of a drugs overdose. Happy days.
Filmed in London in 1965 — everyone in the audience is wearing a suit!
Those who know me well will understand that the following quote was bound to catch my eye:
I want to live in the sticks, surrounded by hares.
Hmm, interesting…
