Toronto once hummed with jazz clubs and fervent fans who made sure stars of the era made places like Bourbon Street a mandatory book-it stop.
Bourbon Street, 180 Queen St. W. 1971-1986
If you'd been there one night in 1975, Paul Desmond offered this sweet standard.
Canadian all-stars Ed Bickert on guitar - Don Thompson on bass - Jerry Fuller, drums
Desmond may be celebrated for his days with Dave Brubeck or birthing the bossa nova with Astrid Gilberto ... but hell, listen to this.

Fabulous music, and this clip is just a sampler.

The man to thank is the bassist (and all around musical genius) Don Thompson.
