Hi all,
I am putting together a book of free verse with musician photos by the incredible author/jazz photographer Ed Berger. Some of you may remember when I asked around last year for birth dates of vibes players who have recorded to include them in the book. I decided to self-publish and the book is going forward.
One of the verses is actually a compilation of all the vibes players I am familiar with by
Well, Ray Charles OWNS this tune. His recording is the one we all think of when this tune is mentioned.
It sounds great as an instrumental too, and since everyone knows this tune it's a good one to play on gigs.
