In this Youtube video, the late great Frank Sinatra sings the classic song Moonlight in Vermont. Simply beautiful.

My friend Gio Escueta wrote an emotional pop song called Lonely Days and we recorded a performance of it in a Youtube video last night. (I’m playing piano in the video and Gio is singing).

This is a beautiful duo performance by the master jazz pianist Chick Corea and the incredibly versatile virtuoso vocalist Bobby Mcferrin.

It’s one of my favorite jazz Youtube videos at the moment, because it’s an amazing example of rhythmic interplay, varied textures, use of time and space, jazz idioms, and synergy and flow in a performance. There are killer solos by Chick Corea and Bobby Mcferrin. I have watched this video like 20 times by now, and I still get new ideas every time I watch it. During the performance Mcferrin makes a joke about being “not quite sure of” the line about the sunburned hands – perhaps he or his special someone doesn’t get sun burns! 5 stars! [Via Youtube]

I got a Macbook and am trying to learn how to use the audio software on it. So far I am pretty much a newbie. Here is my first “track” that I created using the Macbook. It’s a very quickly put together version of a cool original tune “Surprise Peas” which I would like to record properly someday! Please excuse the cheesy midi instruments. Mmm cheese.
