Put A Little Sugar In Your Bowl

If you have a sweet tooth for jazz,  the weekend Tonicians tell us that "our cravings are sure to be satisfied with tonight’s Tonic (6 p.m.)." What this means is music like White Chocolate from Julie Lamontagne, and Queen Latifah singing I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl.

Now, in a slight and yet connected digression, in looking ahead to a sojourn in Paris and what music I might hear there, I happened on this very sweet post from a young Canadian who heard her first jazz concert in France recently. She's Une Canadienne En France, and here's a quote:

"I love how jazz is so improvisational, with the members exchanging knowing glances and subtle, almost indiscernible, movements and cues. The solos are so natural and flowing and somehow the group always comes back together seamlessly. They build on one another’s playing, constantly synthesizing and answering back."
