God, I used to love Brook Benton! A timber to his voice like Tom Jones, but a more subdued. Just beautiful - more velvet than Mel Torme. Love this:

Love it - one of the great, most subtle sax breaks in recorded history (plus, I walk on that particular wild side frequently)

Not my scene, I fear.
It took me forever to get my head round this sort of thing, especially at about 5 minutes.

I was never the biggest ELP fan as far as their interpretations of classical pieces, but I felt this one leant itself well to the rock format:

Oh deep joy.
I don't know what they were on, but I wish I had some.
Another keyboard magician, may be found here.

How about two keyboard magicians doing what can only be called "Dueling Pianos"...
Elton John & Billy Joel

I've not heard either of them do what I'd call some keyboard/piano magic, as it were, but they are very competent musicians, I think.
Gimme some Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith and maybe a touch of Oscar Peterson.

And let us not forget Thelonius Monk, although I have to say that some of his wilder flights are not good to my ear.

I agree - after Bebop, I never got into that penchant for playing so much 'outside' (dissonant, against the harmony). It's what kept Coltrane at arm's length for me. My hero of the era, and all time is Miles Davis. One of my favorites, although it's a scratchy recording, but if you imagine the scratches are rain, it fits the mood (Miles ballads always bring to mind city streets, wet from rain):

If this was the music to a film, it would be in Black & White, and one of those 'depressing' (film noire?) murder mysteries.
Feet up, with a glass of something heart-warming, with the rain gently falling (persistently).

I always got a kick out of movies where the music soundtrack ended up being better entertainment than the film.

Being Mike Hammer's secretary was hard work though.

Loved Harlem Nocturne - theme from the Stacy Keach (a great M.H.) TV series:

The man himself as Mike (with Shirley Eaton)

I must have a think about more of that music. . . .

And here we are in the midst of [yet another] Windoze update; as usual, it's at a very inconvenient time; I want to restart the machine, but there are no fewer than 68 'updates' to my copy of Win 7.
But at least it's connecting to the Internet [??] and running at a fair clip.
But I still have not got a video on the left of my 2 screens.
Why the 'ell does it wait until I want to switch off, as opposed to asking [then doing on Yes] while the bloody thing is on.
Gnash, Growl,

Some suitable music here.
I'd have also selected the 'lonely man theme', [used in the old 'Strand cigarettes advert], but some pratt has elected to cut out the music.
