Cold Duck Time!

If you're thinking about those long necked orange things hanging in the windows in Chinatown, erase that thought.  This is the Eddie Harris jazz classic "Cold Duck Time."  Lets start with a video of some guy's hands (the hands belong to the oddly named Volvoxburger) doing their funky best to duplicate the legendary pianist Les McCann . There is a transcription of what Volvoxburger's hands are doing if you click HERE.

Next dig some Les McCann and Eddie Harris doing what they do best live.  Mr. Holober recommends this one, and that's about as good a recommendation as you are going to get.
