[Dixielandjazz] Marsalis/Blakey and My Ship.

[macjazz]

Sorry. Yes, I agree it isn't OKOM. Isn't that a given with Blakey?

This isn't the one that I have, but the genre et.al. is right.  Mine is a 
slow mello ballad that absolutely floats out to sea. (excuse me "waxing 
rhapsodic," but that's what it does.
