Junior Mance @ the Blue Note in NYC

I had the great pleasure of venturing up to NYC Sunday to see Junior Mance at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village. He is one of the finest jazz pianists and one whose work I've come to admire.

When I told him I was very much in love with his work and it was a pleasure to finally hear him play, his face lit up. He indulged me with a photo :) It was absolute heaven to hear him play "For Dancers Only" I LOVE his version of that song. Here are two clips from the performance:

I discovered that I loved Junior Mance when I heard his version of "For Dancers Only" What a fabulous Sunday afternoon...brunch, live jazz, NYC. What more could you ask for?
