Some numb nuts on twitter asked "which band do you like because of your father?" [View all]

When my dad and I hung out, which wasn't as often as I wish, it was usually MJQ on the turntable

He was probably pumping liquor, a rye and soda every 20-30 minutes, & I was stealing beer and sneaking one-hitters on the back porch

Anyway. Modern Jazz Quartet is the answer



This is beautiful at every level
