Screamin' Jay Hawkins singing "I Put a Spell On You" and "Old Man River."

Both of these videos are from a late-80's show called "Night Music." This show was my first real introduction to jazz. It was also my first real introduction to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and seeing him at such an impressionable age is probably part of the reason I ended up this way.

"It's Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and he's a wild man, so bug off."

I had to go check that movie out from the library because of you.

Mission accomplished!

Now, have you also listened to Eszter Balint her own self? (Audio samples here (http://www.eszterbalint.com/sound.html).)

I may never know. When I opened the box, I found a long string of videotape just flapping in the breeze.

Maybe Merriam Park has a copy.
