Cool Music: Laverene Walk

The other night (okay maybe a few months ago now . . .) I was riding to rehearsal and listening to my satellite radio. A super groovy mutli-bass piece came on–it had two double bassists trading back and forth, and was really slamming. By the time I made it to rehearsal the song wasn’t over, so I sat in my ride just listening. You know, as much as I love music I don’t get enough of those magical moments where the music you listen to consumes you and you just really feel it. It happens only a few times a year to me, unfortunately. The DJ didn’t announce the artist so I had to wait until I got home and looked it up online–since it made me late to rehearsal I knew roughly what time the song was on the air

Ironically it turns out that it was Ron Carter doing an old Oscar Pettiford song. I think maybe a lot of us discount Ron Carter, but this was such a wonderful song that I had to share it with you. You should be able to listen to a sample on this site:
