Solo piano performance by Fred Hersch playing two Jobim tunes. https://youtu.be/q4dWw17kdT0 Next a focus on Bill Charlap providing a relaxed trio treatment of a standard tune using an mix of musical devices. Bill Charlap – Blue Skies https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=JMrvYK1Gv3s&feature=share Here is another performance of this tune in a solo setting (with video so we can watch his hands). https://youtu.be/lrrgvx6gVt0 Now learn more about Charlap in this interview – an inspiring trio pianist. https://youtu.be/mPksSiMrcgU Next, Monty Alexander, What a Friend We Have in Jesus This is pure fun and swings like mad. See how he dissects this classic bluesy tune! Notice how he builds up the energy in such a natural fashion. If you like Monty, he has many recordings with Ray Brown, the longtime bass player with Oscar Peterson. https://youtu.be/z2xtUrS26y4 How about three recordings, somewhat of a brief study of Thelonious Monk. This one is with Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, and big band. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dnwT9nYaX5E&feature=share This with Jason Moran and an 8-piece band playing Monk. https://youtu.be/JqhH-OUXyrY And here is an hour-long documentary of Monk’s life. https://youtu.be/ehvPDFfalFs Next is vibraphonist, Gary Burton, with Prelude for Vibes andTake Another Look He continues making wonderful music after his work with Chick Corea. Take notice of the interplay and broken rhythm on this performance, characteristic of Burton. https://youtu.be/5IyTMdOxH3U Here is a band from 2004 with a lovely Pat Metheny tune, perhaps overproduced, but beautiful. https://youtu.be/I7AOnxm6EZ8 Now we turn to the Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio and Sandino With Jack DeJohnette and Charlie Haden in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMIB4nZM6mk Here is Jaco Pastorius with his composition, Three Views of a Secret, performing with Toots Thielman.
