Winterland wondertime

It’s not snowy or anything in San Jose, however I still present to you the following, in celebration of the times:

This is a cut from a collection of live sets from Wynton Marsalis (and several variations on his septet) that was recorded over the course of 5 years at the Village Vanguard in NYC. As if to demonstrate that this is a live show, Wynton chips the first note, causing a brief stop in the music and a bit of playful banter among the band… These cats are all amazing technicians and musicians, and pretty much the whole thing is a treat. It’s a seven CD box set for $40, hard to beat that!
