Music Institute of Chicago’s Jazz Explosion Big Band—“Straight, No Chaser”
Yeah, I was off the wagon—or on, whichever it is—but now I’m on (or off). Who doesn’t need a stiff one, these days? Audrey Morrison’s arrangement sounds a little poppy boppy, but who can resist both strings and voices? The personnel isn’t given, and the link, which only takes you to the Music Institute itself,…

Jazz at the Philharmonic, circa 1967
Clark Terry, James Moody, Zoot Sims, and Dizzy Gillespie lead off a full-length BBC presentation of JATP, back in the day when jazz musicians still wore tuxes to a gig. The first 40 minutes are the best. Then R&B vocalist T-bone Walker shows up, which was not really a good idea. Pianist Teddy Wilson is…
