The Big Sleep

Carlos Santana & John McLaughlin

Montreux Jazz Fest, 1993 (I think).

I love that the keyboard player is wearing a Santana t-shirt.

My Morning Jacket

with Preservation Hall Jazz Band, “One Big Holiday” at Bonnaroo 2011. Video might make you a little dizzy, but sound is good. And, horns. Horns make everything better.

Stevie Wonder

So much joy. So much funky, funky joy.

Bryan Ferry

I think Nic Cage based his entire career on Bryan Ferry’s performance here.

Darondo

My current obsession: Darondo.

“Darondo recorded three singles and played four shows in the ’70s ,and then stopped and drove home in his Rolls Royce after he opened for James Brown. Later he traveled the world collecting interesting artifacts, became the king of Bay Area cable with three shows per day, and worked as a physical therapist coaxing patients to walk again.” – Wikipedia
