Song of the Day #132- Turk Murphy’s Jazz Band- My Heart
I got into the old style- Dixieland Jazz when I was in New Orleans. This song has that same quality I heard on the streets of that beautiful city.

Erik Satie- La belle excentrique, Grand Ritournelle
I truly believe that Jazz music emerged from the collision of Classical music and African American sounds from the late 1800’s. Music almost always comes out of the music that preceded it.
Listen to this piece by Erik Satie and then listen to the Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin. Hear the resemblance? Both pieces use a similar interval with the octaves in the left hand.
Do you know of any other examples like this?

This was an amazing opportunity. To be able to play Piano on the Cliff of the Grand Canyon.
DAY 64
Piano on the Cliffs of the Grand Canyon
We drove to the Grand Canyon and I knew I had to play there. We met some great people here who were also traveling across America and of course, the views were spectacular. The Grand Canyon was one of the most inspiring places I’ve ever played. Later that night I played with the sun setting behind me and wonders came out. Stay tuned for the Grand Canyon Sunset video!

Song of the Day #128 - Toshiko Akiyoshi Piano Trio
Her playing reminds of Bud Powell and Bill Evans.

Song of the day #126- Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin - Armando’s Rumba
Here are two amazingly talented performers that are so well developed with their craft that there is so much freedom in their work. I saw Bobby McFerrin live at Lincoln Center in New York City and it was one of the most inspirational performances of my life and career. You have to see him Live. He improvises EVERYTHING. The organization of his performances are even improvised. He just sings whatever he feels at that moment in time.
Chick Corea has distinguished himself as one of the prominent pioneers of modern jazz that is made today. He is most well known for Return to Forever in the 70’s. Together, these two performers fly with ease and such dynamics. Its impossible to watch this and not be amazed.
