A Korean cover of the swing tune "Sing Sing Sing" by Son Mok-in. I didn't know this existed. Now I want to hear all the old 1930s Korean swing music.

Kenny Garrett playing a song I never expected to hear him play. (Heard about this on the Keep Taking Ground podcast, in the interview with Allison Au.)

I don't know what following they have these days, but I've liked Malicorne since I first heard them in the 90s.

Mike Love and Sam Ites. Serious looping, serious topic.

First time hearing Hiatus Kaiyote but I'm impressed enough to share it here, and that's saying something. The live versions on Youtube are impressive too.

The great baritone sax player Gary Smulyan playing Thad Jones' "A Child is Born" gorgeously with: Ian Macdonald - piano Jason Emmond - bass Joe Barna - drums & cymbals

The band also has a trumpet/flugelhorn player, Joe Magnarelli, but he sits out this number.

I first heard this classic tune on an album by the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, a Canadian klezmer band. This is an amazing version by Sylvain Carton done with one clarinet and pedals, including a looper pedal.

Classic Bill Evans, and worth your time.
