RIP Mr. Womack. I distinctly remember the first time I heard this song as I was in a movie theater watching Jackie Brown.

Never can have too much Otis Redding.
Gregory Porter – Free

Some great jazz crossover albums were released in 2013, but none hit me harder than Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit. I just got tickets to see Porter in Chicago next month, where he's opening for Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spaulding, & Leo Genovese. I think the last time I was this excited to see someone live, it was Keith Jarrett.

I saw a dude cover this song last night at a locals bar in the 7th ward. It was pretty great, but no one can really hold a candle to the man himself.
