I see where one of my favorite jazz vocalists, Mose Allison, just joined the eternal big band. I learned a lot about the blues listening to Mose.

Here, compliments of my old pal Sue M, is a timely remembrance of Mose reflecting on global dysfunction. Listening to this, seems like he looked around and decided, “I”m outta here.”

Speaking of overtime pay, a few years back I featured Mose’s great critique of people who talk more than they should: “Your mind’s on vacation but your mouth is working overtime.”
