My family and I had planned this weekend's trip to Sea World for several months. At the last minute things went awry and I was unable to go. Seems strange to wake up this morning with no kids in 'da house'. But I have a full day of work scheduled, so at least it will be productive for me.
Sunday morning means music. Let's start with Weather Report, a ballad and the sax of Wayne Shorter.
Can't leave out the Mahavishnu Orchestra when talking about 70's jazz. Billy Cobham defined jazz drumming for an entire generation of drummers. This is a fine example of high energy playing and the fusion genre.
Here's Billy again, but this is a recent band doing his hit "Red Baron". I can remember playing this album to the point of destruction, then buying two copies of it. One of which I still have, in the plastic... unopened.
Keith Jarrett is one of the most influential musicians of our time. This short solo performance is simply gorgeous.
And here's a chance to check out two masters... Chick Corea and Gary Burton.
And finally, while it doesn't necessarily represent the 70's, this is classic beauty at it's best. Sunday morning with Ella has to be the start of a good day.
