PASS IT ALONG

COLOURS – BLACK PUMAS

Caldonia (or is it Caledonia?) – Louis Jordan

C-Jam Blues – Oscar Peterson

This is crazy and really distracting, but fabulous. I’ve started the video at the rare bit in the song where the melody (which is very simple), is played. It’s such a great video and performance to watch, but some may find it boring. Notice how he ‘sings’ his improvisational idea. Notice the all white audience!
