Music Friday: "Long as You Know You're Living Yours"

I discovered recently that Branford Marsalis put out a new album last year. It's titled Belonging by the Branford Marsalis Quartet. I've listened to it often this week. 

Here's the third track from the album--the album version and performance. 

Music Friday: "Gutbucket Steepy"

I've been revisiting some great albums by Brandford Marsalis from the 80s lately. This week I've been listening to a lot of jazz. 

"Gutbucket Steepy" comes from his 1989 album Trio Jeepy. 

Music Friday: "St. Thomas"

The other day I was daydreaming about being on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. I have no legit reason to be on such a talk show, but I wonder if I would what song I'd like the band to play as I walk out and shake the host's hand. 

I think I'd go with "St. Thomas," which I was introduced to on the album Renaissance by Branford Marsalis, but was originally composed by Sonny Rollins. 

Enjoy.
