This video is pure magic, but it also saddens me to know that three of these great musicians are no longer with us.

Ron, I love that!
Let me know, what you think of this (sorry, not jazz, necessarily):

Cem, I enjoyed the piece by Richard Thompson and the fine musicians and singers surrounding him. What a passionate performance! Thanks for sharing it.

GG, that's definitely one of the most unique arrangements and presentations of Layla I've ever heard. I wouldn't have expected Wynton to be onboard with this, frankly.

Continuing in the Kind of Jazz vein, here's the new David Bowie single

"Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)"

Credits (which, along with more info., can be found at

If that video clip gets yanked, there are several others on YouTube. And David Bowie has posted a SoundCloud clip (apparently private otherwise) at the bottom of this page:

Thanks for posting this new Bowie/Schneider collaboration, bluenoter.

I love Maria Schneider, and had just received an e-mail from her about this project, but you beat me to it.

Here are the happy collaborators:

The lyrics:


Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)


Sue, I got the job
We’ll buy the house
You’ll need to rest
But now we’ll make it


Sue, the clinic called
The x-ray’s fine
I brought you home
I just said home


Sue, you said you wanted writ
“Sue the virgin” on your stone
For your grave


Why too dark to speak the words?
For I know that you have a son
Oh, folly, Sue


Ride the train I’m far from home
In a season of crime none need atone
I kissed your face


Sue, I pushed you down beneath the weeds
Endless faith in hopeless deeds
I kissed your face
I touched your face
Sue, Good-bye


Sue, I found your note
That you wrote last night
It can’t be right
You went with him


Sue, I never dreamed
I’m such a fool
Right from the start
You went with that clown

Not soundcloud, vimeo or youtube, but a vid of one of my brother Dick's bands. He plays the second keyboard solo (on a moog).

The video quality on this recording suffers, but it's a nice clip ... on Eddie Harris' birthday!

Heard this tune on Joshua's Trios Live and couldn't figure out what it was, it was so familiar. Then I read a review and they clarified for me, it was a Zeppelin tune! Bits of my misspent youth are coming back now...

Here's a fresh video featuring, among others, my friends Danny and Beth Gottlieb, in this all-star alumni salute to Gil Evans and Sweet Basil.

A friend of mine I had lost contact with resurfaced in the Bay area recently. His name is David Haskell, and I know him from his days playing with Jim Pepper's band Muktuk. He writes nearly all of the material for his group. Here's a taste.

Tie everything down, turn up the volume, and enjoy the ride from nearly 40 years ago! :music:

George Burton is a pianist and composer to be reckoned with ... another fine product of Philadelphia.
