Morris Nanton's Something We've Got

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6GIGJJFJAY

Description: On the cover of *Something We've Got*, pianist Morris Nanton stands at 271 W 126th Street, just off the main drag of Harlem, in a neighborhood where jazz once spilled out of basement clubs and second-floor bars. The street’s brick facades and narrow sidewalks feel like an extension of his piano style—unshowy but full of subtle rhythm and swing. As you stand in the same spot, you can almost hear the echo of early ’60s New York, when small-group jazz was still a local language spoken on every block. This is one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
