Jeff Back: Nadia (live at Ronnie Scotts)



Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's jazz club, London, 2007.. beautiful song, written for Nadia Comaneche.. Aussie bassist Tal Wildenfeld tears up this set, at age 22! she's played w the Allman Bros, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea already..

love those electronic tablas! wish I had those instead of my real ones..

Michael Danso: Begin the Beguine



Danso lets this song flow naturally, and hits all the notes.. very tasteful and understated version..

Tuxedo Junction: Begin the Beguine



A little pop perhaps, but an interesting big band version of the Cole Porter classic, with a Brazilian beat.. (or is it a rhumba, therefore Cuban?) [hey - are Astaire and Powell making fart sounds with their hands in the film still shown above?? LOL..]

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?



Hilarious opening from Mason Spurlock's film of this title, with Osama break dancing to M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This"

"Maybe he's a nine foot tall bionic ninja with x-ray vision.."
