I ran into Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers' "Moanin'" and that was it. There I was, innocently thinking it about time to check in on Tibbles over at Time Goes By. His full name is Peter Tibbles, but I like referring to him as Tibbles. Sounds more mysterious. Like some sort of shadowy figure, lurking, slipping you cool shit on the sly. But he's not like that, well he sorta is, he does slip you the cool shit, but not in the way you're used to. Time Goes By is a snarky free site, for seniors. Really. Total hipster repellent. But, Tibbles, the man has taste, and is well versed in all types of music. He'll have a post about full-on old fart gold, and then a post about Willie DeVille that is more comprehensive in it's song samples than any I've come across.
Blakey's "Moanin'",the original nine and a half minute version, was on a post I happened to check. The post had several other versions, along with Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Time Out", and several of other versions of it too. That was it, or so I thought. Then, when looking for a Blakey image, I ran into the one above, with him and Milt Jackson. Cool, eh? Enough so that I went looking for Milt Jackson, and I knew just where to find him, at Groove Addict. You can see where this is going. No U-turns tonight.

I've been distracted for a while - I've bought a new bed thus I had to clean up my bedroom (and that took a while) then try to get the old bed out (impossible for me on my own) and the new one in (the delivery men did that). Now that's all done and I can lie straight in my bed once again it was time to check your column.
In the spirit of the column you mentioned, my most recent one is along the same lines with the tunes Work Song and Round Midnight. It has the great Butterfield Blues Band, not to mention Thelonious Monk.
