wave Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 386 seconds Okay, I know I will get asked, so let me get it out of the way right up front. The bottle you see is Rihaku Dreamy Clouds Nigori Sake. I recommend it. Ginjo sake is a Good Thing. This is my Rhodes version of the classic Jobim tune. I was just in the right mood tonight to do it, and I have very little in the bossa nova category, so it seemed appropriate. Related: bossa, brasilian, fender, jazz, jobim, nova, rhodes, tom, wave |

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 549 seconds The Joe Zawinul classic, piano solo style. First commenter to identify what brand piano I have wins a virtual prize. Grab a beer for this one, I blow for pretty much 8 minutes over ||:G7-C7:||. So the more you drink the better I sound. Related: bozo, jazz, mercy, piano, solo |

In a Mellow Tone Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 364 seconds A Duke Ellington classic. Dedicated to Tom. I did not get a white piano--I'm not going Liberace on you guys. It's a piece of shelving material I placed on top of my music rack to get a better base for the tripod to avoid the spazzcam effect.

Invitation Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 318 seconds Bronislaw Kaper is the guy that wrote this as well as another kickass jazz standard known as On Green Dolphin Street. This tune (Invitation) is brilliantly composed and a bitch to play. By popular demand (okay, one dude asked) I'm presenting this in the first-person perspective rather than the easy-to-get oblique shot from the side. I care about you guys _that_ much. Related: ahead, bozo, bronislaw, invitation, jazz, kaper, piano, solo, standard, straight, swing |

Walkin' Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 468 seconds Okay, I felt like Youtube needed some more straight ahead blowing. So here it is, Walkin' written by Richard Carpenter, made famous by Miles Davis. F blues. I'm also playing with my new metronome I got off ebay (it's actually thirty years old and I got it new in the box), it swings. A bunch of choruses of blowing, then the head, then more blowing, then the head. Related: ahead, blues, bozo, jazz, piano, solo, straight, swing, walkin |

My Funny Valentine Posted by: volvoxburger
Video duration: 569 seconds Horace Washington & Friends doing a funky arrangement of MFV. This was recorded in 1992, and all wack scene changes are in the source video, not my doing. I don't have anywhere near that much hair anymore, by the way. Horace Washington on sax, Bob Carson on bass, and Phil Collier on drums and funky navy surplus gear. Yours truly playing a modified Korg M1. Related: valentines, day, day, funny, fusion, jazz, korg, m1, rhodes, sax, saxophone, soprano, valentine, valentines |
