Whisky & Jazz IV

June 8, 2010

Scotch: Oban 14 yr old
Musician: Stan Getz
Song: Blood Count

Present: John (host), Patrick, Aaron, Ian

Another night of W&J. Stan "The Sound" Getz played some cool and latin jazz- I don't think anyone can help their foot from tapping when "Girl from Ipanema" plays. The smooth sounds of Getz paired perfectly with Oban, a smooth West Highland. The perfect mix of the peaty isles with the spice of the mainland, the dram was full-flavored, complex, but easy to drink. Stan Getz fit the bill- his jazz was easy to get in to, especially with the recognizable standards and vocals. If you listened a bit deeper for a second, you could hear the incredible talent and perfection in his playing.

Continuing the smoking tradition, we stepped outside and were joined by an old friend who stopped by for a bit.

Another great night, with great friends, great music, and great whisky. Almost half-way through the book!
