charles erland quartet – 11 july 1995, east orange, nj, usa

i feel as if luck was with me tonight, picking something just right on my first try.  none of that “no, not in the mood for that” or “oh dear, that’s not really a very good recording, is it?” business.  and, curiously enough, it’s the second time that east orange has come up in as many days, three if you count “when it’s apple blossom time in east orange, new jersey, we’ll make a peach of a pear”, which the first time reminded me of (and i even remember the little tune my parents sang it with… and in fact, it’s a misquotation of a line from the lobby number, by danny kaye. why’d i look it up anyway?  i prefer my folks’ version, naturally).  anyway, you’ll be happy to know that this is nothing at all like danny kaye.  or not much anyway.
