If I'm in the saddest, ugly, meanest mood all I have to do is turn on the Count and listen to Corner Pocket not once but it takes about 3 or 4 times to actually hear the richness of the horns, bass, drums separately and then one more time as they all come together. This song takes me to .....out of the world without any cares. If only I could have sat in the audience and surround myself with it all. Maybe in my next life!

He had to enter the stage on an electric scooter but once he was seated at his piano all was right with the world again. I also got to see Duke Ellington and his band live around 1970. Both were once in a lifetime experiences for me. I saw Ellington in Pensacola and Basie in Tallahassee, Florida.

We may not ever make music like this again. But rest assured, the tradition of jazz is alive and well, both here in the US as well as many places around the world: San Juan, La Habana, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Johannesburg and more. The music may not be quite the same as it was in decades past, but it is as vibrant and powerful as ever. Jazz is an ever evolving tradition. Don't rush to judge its most recent evolutions -- leave that to future generations. Let us continue to venerate these elder masters, while at the same time let us open our ears and our hearts to what the new generations of masters are saying.
