I'm reposting this tune. I just needed it this morning.

Artist: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with Freddie Hubbard
Tune: Moanin'

What a great performance by Freddie Hubbard. Freddie Hubbard wasn't simply a great trumpet player. He was one of those rare virtuosos. He could play any style. He could play jazz, pop music or with a full orchestra. His range was spectacular. In my mind, it was his tone that was just magnetic.

I was clicking around today and I found this entry in Wikipedia – the music video for "Gentleman", the latest single by PSY, has set a world record with over 38 million single-day page views? Really? Who is this guy?

Artist: Psy
Tune: Gentleman

Okay. If you're going to tell me that this is really, really popular, I'll believe you, but… We've heard that song, we've heard this beat, we've heard… This is nothing but disco. The late 1970s have returned.

Artist: Miles Davis
Tune: Blue in Green

I don't consider this the best song on Kind of Blue. I love it nonetheless. It is so moody, beautiful and somewhat haunting. It starts with that piecing trumpet. Wonderful tune. Just sit back and enjoy.
