I am always amazed and floored at how cool and ...well, funny this great talent was.

For the other guys. This song goes every night exactly at midnight on a local Jazz Radio in Skopje for years now. Kudos for the uploader :) Great song.

jsmith9996 Thank you for the correction. It has been many years since! Yes, it was Jacques in the Village on Bleecker and Sullivan. I have the album you mention (autographed by Major Holley). Those were wonderful evenings. What a great place it was. I never found out why they called Major Holley, "Mule". Are you the proprietor of Jacques?

He was my great friend. Major Holley (July 10, 1924, Detroit, Michigan – October 25, 1990, Maplewood, New Jersey) was an American jazz upright bassist. Holley played violin and tuba when young and started playing bass while serving in the Navy. In the latter half of the 1940s he played with Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, and Ella Fitzgerald; in 1950 he and Oscar Peterson recorded duets, and he also played with Peterson and Charlie Smith as a trio.

Major Holley was great! I saw him many times when he was engaged at Jacques Cafe in Greenwich Village, New York (West 4th Street).
