..... Rava – for many years one of Miles Davis's most authoritative disciples – creates an enchanting album of luxuriant brass textures, alluring ballads, bursts of twisting postbop and memorable soloing. There are slow-shifting songs that turn with a Kenny Wheeler-like poignancy or Carla Bley's wry romanticism, trumpet solos over quietly hustling backdrops, blustery free-jazzy episodes and samba-like sleepwalks. Rava's high sounds and Petrella's voice-like phrasing combine with a spellbinding melody to make Tears for Nada a gorgeous contemporary-jazz ballad, while the title track is unexpectedly funky, and Guidi plays like an abstract Herbie Hancock.
From the comments section: According to notes at YouTube it is from "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus." This was a hell of a band fronted by Taj Mahal, with Jesse Ed Davis, Ry Cooder, and Chuck Blackwell.
Heard this on an online radio statation and had to see if there was a YouTube video of it. Too cool.

I missed Keb Mo's birthday which was actually a couple of days ago, but that is cool. We can always play a song or two of his, to celebrate the occasion of the birthday of what is in my mind a wonderful blues musician.
