    Oops - I was thinking of "Midsummer Night". You're quite correct, of course.

    Al Di Meola recorded one of my favorite Holiday albums - Winter Nights - with Roman Hrynkiv on bandura. It's a beautiful album you may already be familiar with:





    Nice. What a treat to see Paco live.

    It is sad he passed away when he did. Sometimes on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon I'll pop on his greatest hits Gold and let the whole thing play through. "Almoraima" is the first song on that collection.

    Great song. That girl could scat like nobody else.

    I didn't get into jazz until I put myself through art school in the 1980s. At the time, Wynton Marsalis' father Ellis was a member of the faculty - he recently passed away at the age of 85:

    In memoriam: VCU faculty remember former colleague Ellis Marsalis, patriarch of jazz’s royal family
    https://www.news.vcu.edu/article/In_memoriam_VCU_faculty_remember_former_colleague_Ellis_Marsalis

    It was a great environment. You could walk down Harrison Street and hear the Jazz and Classical music students performing during class, and I imagine you still can.

    Because of his father's connection to the school, Wynton often makes a point of dropping into Richmond when he's on tour. We saw him with his septet years ago at the Carpenter Center when they were touring The Marciac Suite. This is my favorite song off that album:

    "[She] has one feature that surprised me. Here's a [girl] singing. Sings well, sings well. And then she says: I sang it without emotion. Should I sing with emotion now? I say: of course! And it's like she's flipping a switch inside, and you're being pushed into a chair. What she does at this moment, how she does it, I do not know. But I don't really need to know."* - Alexander Stepin; musician, composer, and arranger. Worked with children on TV talent show "You Are Super"

    *edited for clarity

    Here is an example that make it obvious.
    I suspect that it's limited to one channel for commercial reasons. Sorry.
