Been flying solo every night over the past month with my four squeedunks while my wife was slaving away on night float, so it was good to slip out late this evening for an hour or so after everyone was in bed.
In keeping with this Summer's theme of "Simple Pleasures", I grabbed a small "Whataburger", some rings, & a Coke, & went & parked in an enormous, empty, well lit parking lot for a late night meal & some much needed reflection.
Tonight's musical selection during my brief outing was provided by a group I was introduced to in college called "The New York Voices" (pictured). To say I adore this quartet is a gross understatement. They are the poster child for formally trained musicians at the top of their game & pinnacle of their career. With songs like the wonderful jazz standard "Giant Steps" & the sultry "Stolen Moments" the tension from this previous month just melted away (if only momentary).
We should all be so fortunate.
If you don't enjoy the exceptional & uniquely American art form of Jazz, you should certainly try expanding your musical palette, as Jazz is to fine upscale dining as Kanye West & Britney Spears is to Chuck E. Cheese.
Just my $.02
Cheers & happy listening,
