    That Little Wing Cover is so cool. I've never heard anyone wail the vocal like this. I don't think that anyone else could do that but her. The guitar player rips too. Very nice. I love to hear everyone's interpretation of songs like this. I like to hear where they take it. I've always thought that Hiram Bullock's solo on Sting's version of Little Wing is the absolute best version of that solo. He really nails the changes.

    I have always been a fan of Lee Ritenour's playing too. I've been listening to him for a long time, before they called this stuff Smooth Jazz.


    Thanks for sending this along. I really liked it.

    Find yourself some Sharon Jones to listen to.

    Sharon Jones is a well-kept secret. Too bad the general public will hardly ever (if ever) get to hear her on mainstream radio. I just found about her a couple of years ago.

    Just remember, it's mainstream radio that's dying, not good soul music.

    My uncle played with Chaka Kahn for years. I don't think he's in any of those youtube vids though.
