Was flipping thru the channels last night, and paused just long enough on a Bob Newhart tribute that was on PBS, to hear the John Pizzarelli trio being introduced. They were sensational (Damn... now I can't remember the song they played - Pennies From Heaven, maybe?), then for a second song, they were joined by Clark Terry and Jon Hendricks who 'mumble' scatted through a version of "I Got Rhythm" that lifted my spirits just to hear, and to see Hendricks and Terry having such an obvious blast! I looooove Clark Terry. I was going to catch him this weekend at the Village Vanguard anyway, but last night really clinched it. Even if he doesn't touch the trumpet, he's entertaining as hell doing those vocals, and a real nice character besides.Mike
