I have listened to so much beautiful jazz, and we thought that maybe some of the things we did were a little different.
But they were a little jazzy.
Anyway -- [ Laughs ] So we'd like to just do a little impromptu thing.
And thought maybe this would fit in a little with the theme.
Okay?
You know.
[ Scats ] Or would you rather do the blues?
Wanna do the blues?
Huh?
Oh, you don't know the blues?
Okay.

You've made me very happy tonight.
You know, this has been -- I watched it yesternight and it was so wonderful, and it's so late that I -- [ Laughter ] Would you like to hear something pretty or something fast-- something pretty?
-Yeah!
-Tommy?
Would you like to hear something like, uh, "House Is Not a Home"?
[ Cheers and applause ] The Tommy Flanagan trio.
We'd like to do -- May we do one of our favorites for you?
It's not a jazzy tune.
It's Sunday night, so you must be quiet, you've had enough jazz and we thought you'd like something soft.
We'd like to do a Burt Bacharach tune.
Or would you like to hear "Old Devil Moon," which would you like to hear?
[ Indistinct shouts from crowd ] [ Intro to "A House Is Not a Home" plays ] No?
Alright.
I just want to see if you were listening.
Wanna do "Devil" or this one?
