This year the Wayback Machine turns 20! And we've been archiving web pages since 1996. Many don't realize that the Wayback Machine captures more than just screenshots! It's a complex set of tools. Our intern, University of Southern California computer science student Bridget Bell, lifts up the hood & gives you a look at how the #WaybackMachine actually works.

On this day in 1964, Erroll Garner and his trio performed in London for a BBC broadcast of Jazz 625. From that performance, here is Garner’s original composition “No More Shadows” featuring Eddie Calhoun on bass and Kelly Martin on drums. The trio would perform the song again the following month for a midnight performance in Amsterdam. You can hear that performance on Erroll Garner’s ‘Nightconcert’ album. | Erroll Garner
