Song of the Day: Close Enough for Jazz, words and music by Van Morrison, first appeared on the artist’s 1993 album, “Too Long in Exile,” as an instrumental. My favorite version of the song is a poppin’ vocal rendition on Morrison’s 2018 duet album, “You’re Driving Me Crazy,” with the late, great jazz organist (and multi-instrumentalist) Joey DeFrancesco and a wonderful jazz ensemble. Today, Van Morrison turns 80 years old! Check out the original rendition and the duet [YouTube links].
