Another little note on this lovely wine and jazz bar in Firenze. Starting with the jealous note, every once in a while we find someone who has our dream job, or if not a dream job, an amazing job, which you would be happy to have it instead of them. On this visit to Italy, that job has been taken by Ciro.
As described in the post just before this one, Le Volpi e L'uva is an oasis of good taste in the heart of romantic, medieval and also full of tourists Firenze, just nest door to the Ponti Vecchio. Howie took me there, and I was immediately dazzled by the concept of this bar. Then we looked at the wine list and ordered a couple of glasses of Tuscany whites, followed by yet another round of yet some more tuscany whites.
Since we arrived I had been commenting on the lovely music selection by Ciro, just some nice count basic, or NYC jazz to go with the wine, and providing the most amazing background to enjoy the company and the conversations. (A note that it was valentines day, and the place was quite full of couples sharing a drink before dinner and so on...). Then sometime between the Verdicchio and the Muscat, a new track started a that really called my attention and commanded me to ask Ciro's help on finding who was playing. It was this tune, by the Monk on the piano and Sonny Rollins on the trumpet, a lovely melody with moments of pure virtuous technique by these to great composers, recorded by Prestige in 1975.
hope you enjoy it as much as I did
