Drop the Needle

Robert Gable's knowledge of contemporary music is astounding, as he tries to guess the composer and performer of recordings he has never heard before.  However, he is not quite this astounding:
Hah. an old favorite. That's an alternate, unreleased track from 'Trane Plays the Music of Zoot Sims, starting at bar 37 when Buddy Rich comes in. I hadn't noticed this detail before, but in the middle of the chorus, you can hear producer Ned DeBartolo puffing on his cigarette, probably a Camel although I know he later switched to Lucky Strike.
I wonder if he could identify arias from the latest opera to premiere at the Lincoln Center.  (Via The Standing Room.)

Finally, via Futurismic, and in honor of my dear Dakotan friend Alan, I give you Mars:  an environment almost as harsh and alien as North Dakota.
