Dinah


I've been taking a jazz history course, which involves watching lot of the Ken Burns Jazz documentary, which reminded me how much I love hearing Wynton Marsalis talk, which led me to an interview with him and Burns on Charlie Rose, which led me to this classic recording. Like the man say, he's Mr. Armstrong, and they're going to swing one of the good old favorites for you. Then he swings it. He swings it good. Want to know how good? Then you should listen to Wynton Marsalis explain just how he swings it, 24 minutes into the video.


I like the frenetic tapping feet of the hot seven, and the hilarious audience reaction shots. They love when the man swing it.


For playing what you heard him play, Dinah is the song of the day
