Jazz

Back when I was trying to update this thing daily, I was finding new music that I wanted to highlight faster than I could get it up here. So I started making a list of songs and bands that I wanted to share...


I left myself a note in that list to share some jazz every now and then. Just beneath that note, I reminded myself of this little piece...

Link: Oscar Peterson - You Look Good To Me



I stumbled upon this song while working on a video about Ray Brown (the bassist playing here) for the University of Idaho Jazz Fest. Oscar Peterson was obviously a very skilled jazz pianist, and Ray is a great Bassist (though his solo is tough to hear). It really doesn't come across here as well as I'd hoped, but I still think its a great showing!

The Jazz Fest is something I look forward to every year now. To say that I stood on the same stage as Bobby McFerrin, Dr. John, Monty Alexander, and a handful of other greats is an awesome privilege! Here is some more jazz from artists I've been lucky enough to meet and tape...











...I guess that is enough for one night. =)
