    The first thing that comes to mind for me is "Ella Fitzgerald: Live in
    Berlin"

    The smokin' "Too Darn Hot" to the wicked change up and scatting of "Fly Me
    to the Moon" and, of course my personal, greatest musical moment of all
    time.

    What is that you ask? Ella breaks into the then newly composed "Mack the
    Knife" by Bobby Darin and Louis Armstrong, and after the first chorus
    forgets the words entirely. Needless to say, she turns this to her
    advantage, swinging the song like its never swung before or since.

    Speaking of live performances, DJ that is, I saw Ursula 1000 + Nicola Conte
    at the Smartbar on Saturday night. Mr. Ursula was solid, dropping his
    signature brand of disco kizch breakbeat with expert technical presicion.
    This was, however in distinct contrast to Conte's complete lack of mixing
    skills. His track selection was great, but the constant train wrecks were
    embarrasing. I just don't understand why dj's in this situation don't just
    quick cut their records, it sounds such much better.
