Branford Marsalis, playing one of my favourite renditions of the U.S. national anthem.

Apparently the San Diego 4th July fireworks display suffered a technical fault last night (either that, or the organisers were just in a hurry to get home), causing all of the fireworks to launch simultaneously and turning what should have been an eighteen-minute show into a frenetic 60-second wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am:
According to the local coast guard, the technical term is “premature ignition”.
Hmm.

A happy 4th July to all of my American friends.
A wonderful, jazz-inflected version of the US National Anthem performed by Branford Marsalis – one of my favourite renderings.
