Subject: RE: What Song Makes You Drop Everything?
Too many to list, but one comes to mind a barnstorming "I can't get started" by Roy Eldridge from one of the Jazz at the Philharmonic packages. Saw him do it at the Birmingham Town Hall and got the double LP recorded on the same tour which included it. The first few notes of Louis Armstrong on "Sleepy Time Down South" or "Black and Blue" (or most everything else). Bechet's "Petite Fleur"... too many, and I haven't mentioned blues or folk yet. Back to work, Roger,([I'm also suffering from CRS or CRAFT (Can't remember a fucking thing)disease: turned up yesterday for a meeting, moaned that no-one else turned up, got back to the office to find it was scheduled for today! Still, at least I've got all the handouts ready in time!]
