Really? You're into Jazz/Blues and not Small Change?

Nighthawks does have some great moments but its a tough one to talk about because its an in the moment record. "Eggs & Sausage" is a great track and I think "Better off without a wife" is my favorite, but they are certainly not his most enduring tracks. They went for a feel (is my impression) and not something to be in cannon. Thats fine, but its also why you're not hearing a lot of discussion. That and theres a lot of talk.
