Jimmy and Buck: Ain't Nobody's Business
I can't overstate how much I love this clip of Jimmy Witherspoon singing with Buck Clayton's band. It's sexy, tough and cool. The moment around the 1:15 mark in which Kansas native Clayton chimes in after 'Spoon's meaningful moan is the epitome of everything I adore most about Kansas City's unique confluence of jazz and blues.
The only complaint I can muster, after listening to that, is that it's not Friday yet.
