This past Sunday evening, we came together to watch some old timey magic, as Martin Short joined Measha to perform their version of the jazz standard “Misty,” (E. Garner / J. Burke) live at the Windsor Arms in Toronto.

At times tender, at others gut-bustingly hilarious, this duet has the makings of a modern classic. Featuring the piano wizardry of Aaron Davis, the performance was captured and edited in breathtaking black and white by Southern Souls‘ Mitch Fillion and Matt Marek.

Measha’s new album “I’ve Got a Crush on You” is now available on iTunes, or you can order a CD copy here.

Watch “Misty”:
