  1. Watched the 'Round Midnight video at the 3:00 in the afternoon, and had to run outside to make sure it was still daylight.

  3. the vibes, what an oddly cool instrument. they're so smooth and slippery. i associate only 2 people with them, milt jackson and lionel hampton. others must have played them, i know not who.

  5. Good stuff, Round Midnight got me imagining a 60's night club with some hot lady dressed in red sitting at a bar.

  6. yeah , got that picture Ron, Sean Connery in black tie with a cigarette in his hand. Milt softly playing Round Midnight in the background, what we don't know yet is that she is an agent of SMERSH there to set 007 up for the kill which he will easily foil.

  7. @ rraine I didn't notice the first time, that Milt is accompanied by Bobby Hutcherson on vibes. While bobby wasn't as well known as Milt Jackson he was arguably as good as this video shows.
