I came across a video I'd been looking for a while in preparation for last night's show. During New Orleans Brass practice one afternoon, we were trading YouTube videos and Art Falbush showed this incredible performance from Cab Calloway and the wonderful tap dance duo the Nicholas Brothers.

How those two fully grown men manage to keep their bright and upbeat composition while they jump down those stairs, I'll never know. They don't make feet like them no more.

P.S., if anyone wants to tell me how to make that video actually appear in my blog post, it'd be much obliged.
