Musical Interlude: Listened to a little of this fellow recently; I stumbled on his work some time ago but never really investigated to any depth until recently, and I find his work delightful. This is the kind of thing you go see at the best New York clubs on a Friday night...

"It's Only a Paper Moon," performed by the John Pizzarelli Trio.
