Another Slim Gaillard gem: his 1959 recording of How High the Moon. I can pretty much recite every word of this one. I love the improvised quality, how he is just making up chorus after chorus: first the outer space stuff, then an observation about jam sessions and finally, an account of how they make potato salad on the moon (How do they peel them? They peel them with a bulldozer....) And the little trio, led by Slims guitar, cooks! Jazz with a sense of humor....what more do you need? youtu.be/R08DrJTs4_o
