McCain and Palin! Live at the Blue Note!

Posted by Jack Silverman on Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 11:31 AM

OK, their policy proposals may be whacked and their campaign may be floundering (or maybe not), but, wow, can John McCain and Sarah Palin carry a tune! And we're not talking "Three Blind Mice" here—we're talking Ella- and Satchmo-worthy off-the-cuff scatting. Considering how they've clearly been improvising on the campaign trail, I guess their vocal improvisation abilities shouldn't be all that surprising.

Man, John and Sarah, y'all are some real gone cats. Swing daddy (and hockey mommy), swing!

And check out this dynamic collaboration between Palin and Katie Couric, giving Monk and Coltrane a run for their money.

h/t: NYC jazz pianist Henry Hey, for turning lemons into lemonade.
