we need to get a lot more of our black youth involved with this music...

That trumpet player is so short, haha. Looks far younger than the rest. Great ensemble. The rhythm section all have some major chops. I didn't particularly care for the horn solos, but that's me. Lord knows I couldn't make into the Monk institute.

@babinm Go listen to the Chet Baker recording of the tune.

I'd say Wayne looks pretty good for a guy who's about, oh, 74 when this was made.

Might it have a little something to do with their past?

What is it about african americans that they can convey the sadness of the songs. Other singers never seem to care what the lyrics mean.
