You have probably heard the Waltz in D-Flat major by Frédéric Chopin a/k/a the Minute Waltz because you can play it in 60 seconds. Well, here is Fred Hersch with a Minute Waller, as in Thomas "Fats" Waller (1904-1943), the composer of "Crazy 'Bout My Baby." In 60 seconds.

Our solo Hersch comes from the Village Vanguard as heard on JazzSet in 2006. This weekend, Fred is playing at the Jazz Standard in New York.

Congratulations are in order for Dee Dee Bridgewater, a longtime friend to WBGO and host of JazzSet for many years.

In addition to a recent Grammy nomination, Ms. Bridgewater's latest CD, Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee, has been nominated for an Image Award from the NAACP for Outstanding Jazz Album.

Fox will broadcast the awards show on March 4 at 8 p.m. -- in the meantime, tune in on Sunday and Wednesday evenings to hear JazzSet on your radio, or listen online to the latest edition (or browse the archives.)

From all of us at WBGO: Good luck, Dee Dee!
