George Friderick Handel was a closet bebopper, although in the 18th Century it was still frowned upon by the establishment.

What people did for fun on Friday nights long before internet, dvds and cable TV came along, was to go out to the local bars and music halls and listen to live music bands like the example shown here. You get your date and head down there after dark. And the music was good; the musicians were witty, and the show was fun. The idea was to get out of the mundane by a simple, honestly good time. Live music, good people, and a few drinks was the method. Feet would tap, then you knew everything was alright.

Pardon the brief and rather annoying advertisement we must endure to see this one. I actually spent several years performing with the organist used on this track in the early 80s. It is great recording.

Was looking for a good "The Gentle Rain" clips and came across this from the same 60s movie from which the song originates. The song is not done all that well in the movie, but this clip has some nice video from the early days of jet travel.

Harmonically speaking, music such as this Chopin piece are about as rich as it gets in the Romantic idiom, and the art had progressed to a high level by the 19th Century. Later on we saw jazz music pick up where classical composers left off, adding complex, driving rhythms to high-speed improvisation by the mid-20th Century.

I always thought that this classic would do nicely for a New Orleans "jazz funeral". The sound quality of this old clip is outweighed by the artistry of the legendary Maestro at the keyboard.

Stanley Turrentine was one of the great jazz talents of our day. His music was swinging, intense, dynamic and volatile, and more importantly his tone was ever personal. The story I was told second hand was that his father had him practice only one note at as time until it was absolutely perfected tonally. This was done facing a corner in the house in order to hear subtle timbre nuances.
