J can be for Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane: Lush Life I don't usually post non video videos, but...
New Order - Age of CoNseNt. I love this band. My favorite. Saw them live at the Aragon Ballroom back in 2012 of October. Amazing.

I was sitting on V to share my current song/video obsession, but I can't wait on y'all any longer. So T is for St. Vincent with "Cruel"
Y is for Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones, live from the Checkerboard Lounge (owned and managed by Buddy Guy) in 1981. Here they sign "Baby Please Don't Go" and it's worth the ten minute commitment to watch and listen.

A is for A Lot of Livin' to Do | Hal Frazier and Buddy Rich, live on Playboy After Dark, 1970 Damn, I love this song. And I just stumbled across this "wild" version. Nice intro from the Hef.

D is for Sammy F/cking Davis Jr | The Man That Got Away Another killer version of this tune Song actually starts here, but the cool cat intro is so worth it .. not to mention the 20 minutes after it. Like, The Lady is a Tramp here, for example -- complete with some hot-steppin'.
