This blog will host my ramblings about life. To be a bit more specific, I'll probably focus on these subjects: music, sports, food, the everyday beauty of life, and the comedy/tragedy/absurdity of our existence. That about covers it.

Music Friday: "Zigaboogaloo"
Click HERE to enjoy one of the best jazz musicians alive, Nicholas Payton.
I have to say, I haven't heard Nicholas Payton before. I am guessing the title of the song is an homage to Zigaboo Modeliste? That funky, funky drummer who IS New Orleans funk. It's certainly a funky tune.

That tune is from his album Payton's Place. He's a native of New Orleans.
Payton and Roy Hargrove are two of my favorite jazz cats out there. Wynton is outstanding, of course, too.
