The musicians on Miles Davis's Kind of Blue are:

– Bill Evans: Pianist who played on all tracks except "Freddie Freeloader"
– Wynton Kelly: Pianist who played on "Freddie Freeloader"

From the internets: Kind of Blue is considered a high point in jazz history and is often called one of the best jazz records of all time. The album is known for its innovative use of modal jazz, which kept the background simple and allowed soloists to play over a few scales instead of complex chord progressions. The musicians on the album were all at the height of their careers and would go on to become jazz legends.

Once in a While. (my thought for today)

What's the secret code to post youtube videos? I can't remember.

New Zealand Maori MPs disrupt parliament with a haka to protest against a treaty bill
 

From The Independent YouTube page: This is the moment New Zealand Maori MPs disrupt parliament with a haka to protest against a treaty bill.

New Zealand’s parliament was briefly suspended on Thursday (14 November), after Maori members staged a haka to disrupt the vote on a contentious bill that could reinterpret an 184-year-old treaty between the British and Indigenous Maori.

As parliamentarians gathered for a preliminary vote on the bill, Te Pati Maori MPs stood and began a haka, a traditional Maori dance made famous by New Zealand's rugby team.

Parliament was briefly suspended as people in the gallery joined in, and shouting drowned out others in the chamber.

Thousands march to New Zealand's parliament in protest of treaty bill
 

From The Guardian YouTube Channel: The hīkoi mō te Tīriti, or march for the treaty, has arrived at New Zealand's parliament house to protest a bill that seeks to reinterpret the country’s founding treaty between Māori and the crown. Although the bill is unlikely to become law, its introduction has prompted widespread anger among the public, academics, lawyers and Māori rights groups, who believe it is creating division, undermining the treaty, and damaging the relationship between Māori and ruling authorities.
