Then and Now

Then


Now

OK, so the guy wanging on the guitar with the ballpoint pen isn't exactly Eno (or even Phil Manzanera), but it still sounds pretty cool.

Miss Brown to You

Confession time: Anita O'Day gives me the Woodiest of the Woodies. Scha-wing. There's that lazy, smoky, heroin-tinged voice...the effortless scatting...the band knowing how to kick it, but still lay back and be the coolest of cats...

Here's Miss O'Day singing "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "Tea For Two" at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival -- obviously while she's riding the white horse. It starts out a little shaky -- she has a little problem with the stairs -- but then look out -- bam! She's got you flipped into a hammock and is swinging you in the hot afternoon.

Sadly, Miss O'Day passed away November 23, 2006.
