Dry martini, anyone?
With warm weather finally upon us, Paul Desmond's glorious "From the Hot Afternoon" album is the perfect soundtrack. Desmond who made his chops playing alto saxophone with Dave Brubeck dropped this bossa nova gem on an unsuspecting public in 1969.
Desmond explained his gorgeous sax tone to an interviewer this way: "I had the vague idea that I wanted to sound like a dry martini."

If it ever got warm in San Francisco, I'm sure I'd agree. As it is I'll just say that a martini is good in fog too!
Or indeed in any weather. Sweet tunes, thanks!
