Jazz In The F̶r̶o̶n̶t̶ ̶R̶o̶o̶m̶ Lounge

Today I planned to record another video in the garden this time featuring some original jazz I had been working on, but it was raining, not heavy but that annoying fine rain that gets in to everything, that anyone who has busked will know you can't shelter from.

So jazz in the lounge instead!

I start the video with an original composition, an instrumental I've been working on for while, gradually getting to where I want it. Comes out quite nicely.

Next I follow up with a improvised take on the Cole Porter classic, Night & Day. In my solo version of this tune I blend the standard jazz way of playing it with some chords built up from the Cole Porter original sheet music which reflect the melody a bit more explicitly.

Hope you enjoy the video, more to come...

PS: Later in the day it dried up so whilst waiting for the edited video to process I planted some carrots, mangetout and sprouting broccoli!
