I have a propostion for you--my third born (the others have already been promised to lenders and the like)--for information on a song that I only heard once and cannot get out of my head.  I think it's Cannonball Adderly but cannot find any evidence to corroborate that.  It's got a really hot, kinda pensive bass [...]
