First take, no-rehearsal and a hit song. Remarkable talent...

"Quincy Jones: "Vegas in ‘64 was so racist, Belafonte was working in the big room for $17,000 a week, they were not allowed in the casino. They had to eat in the kitchen, sing, and go to a black hotel across town. So Frank said ‘we’re not gonna have more of that.’ So, we came in, we had 18 goombahs put with each one of us. And he stopped the racism in one year, for Basie, Sammy, myself and Basie’s band. He stopped it, man. Cold!”

King Harvest has been dancing around the edges of brain radio for the last two or three days. We had a full moon a couple of nights ago, but it's still very evident in the middle of the night. Tonight I'll be Dancing in the Moonlight!

FWIW, if I was the bass player, I'd be much more busy on this tune - almost as much as the piano player. Diggin' my inner Gary Thain, I guess! Ah well...
