I have to thank my job for introducing me to the artist Mose Allison. Though I had played and enjoyed jazz for many years before I was in my current position, he never hit my radar. In addition to being one hell of a piano player, his lyrics often gave me a good laugh as I made my way through his catalog. When I had an opportunity to work on one of his later albums, Western Man, it was a cool and unexpected surprise to hear him play with a monster like Billy Cobham on drums.
