If you listen real close, you can hear the never-ending BandShell crowd noise during opening acts. They would NEVER shut-up....and now we know they NEVER WILL!
PS = Tonight Jazz@LincolnCenter are having a celebration of Billy Strayhorn's 100th Birthday at 7:30. It can be streamed here :
Billy was Duke Ellington's left hand (and maybe right hand also)....wrote "Take The A-Train" almost overnight when he was 23 years old....and JALC spares no effort for these gigs, so check out some of NYC's finest.....you'll be giving thanks.

Thanks, Grant, this was quite a treat. Appreciate your efforts.
