  • I find it funny how they kept Denny and the others separated. Guess they knew what Denny would have done to them if they ever saw each other in person again.

  • @Svettjodd Jazzers slumming is my take on it. Wayne like others wants to reach the largest audience he can and realises these though these two write great jazz inspired and inflected music  let's face it -it is not the real deal. Listen to Charley Parker for that and I am still mad at those two guys for not giving Horace Silver a writing credit for Rikki Don't Lose That Number

  • I had this album on cassette on a drive from St. Louis to Omaha, Nebraska. One of the best drives of my life.

  • Every time I wake up, I just feel so honored to be named after such a beautiful song. . . I used to hate my name because people would (and still often do) pronounce it incorrectly. It wasn't until recently that after watching this very same video clip that I came to appreciate my name and the fabulous song that it was inspired by. This song will always be a source of strength for me ^_^

  • They DID have drummers come in but were not happy with the results. Steve Gadd came in and according to him "there was dead silence and I thought I blew it completely. They had me play it again but ended up with my first take." Steve Gadd nailed it on the first try and that's what you hear on the record.

  • @lolosixfoe

    haha starr i see what you did there

  • RE: Steve Gadd - there was an interview in the now-defunct Musician Magazine (published by Billboard) that states Jeff Porcaro came in one night, listened to it once, and then nailed it, because Gadd couldn't. Have to go dig up that issue now...

  • love all the background on the background...to moles

  • dude. STEVE GADD!!
