Love it Andy. Thanks for posting. Some folks o the list may not like  
the modern chord changes and solo lines by O'Conner, Marsalis and  
Blanding either.

BUT, note that it got almost 25,000 views so far. Does that mean there  
is some "new" audience interest in "modern OKOM"? <grin>

I hope so.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
