Joe Bonamassa – “Sloe Gin”

Really diggin’ the Blues again lately. Here’s a good one, I know that song from when I was young. And an awesome power performance as well, showing how a Paula should be used:

I also listened to some real old stuff, but as you see and hear, there’s hope with those who are still living 🙂

Magalí Datzira sings Nature Boy

Oh wow – sometimes Joan Chamorro and his students take difficult pieces which they study and perform. But this one, wow – even with much too much reverb (recorded from camera mic instead of mixing console?), this is so good:

Oh, and Magalí is a real good double bass player as well as you might know if you’re reading here regularly.

The song “Nature Boy” by Eden Ahbez, well – I have it in my real book, and it looks pretty simple, but isn’t. The very first version I heard was the one by George Benson, and that one *is* simple, at least the rhythmic part of it. Still a song which makes you melt away with its beauty and very strong message:

That one came out when I was about 20 or so. I’ve been to a recording studio with 19, then later heard this – and I was hooked forever. My first steps into the direction of Jazz were pretty sweet as you can hear. But Magalí in the first video above? She’s much more advanced than I’ll ever become.

“Bravo y brava!” is what I just wrote as a comment onto Joan’s Youtube Channel.

Thanks for reading, watching, and listening.

Music. Photography. Design.

Wow – this is super interesting, because it brings together all these creative arts:

Thanks Estelle – this video and the one about Giant Steps brought you a new subscriber!

To my readers: you know I love both music *and* photography – thanks for your interest as well!

Beneath the waves

This is a premiere weekend. I not only uploaded my first track making noise with jazz brushes and finger snapping yesterday; today I also uploaded my first (music) video into my Youtube channel. It’s only a remix of what was there before, like the music in it:

Revisiting this video from slightly over one year ago:

I’m a supporting member, and I still hit that ‘donate’ button this year already. And I’m asking each Wikiloops member who can afford it to do the same. Supporting Wikiloops is supporting ourselves. We have the best platform out there by far.

Thanks.
