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 |

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 |

Video duration: 549 seconds The Joe Zawinul classic, piano solo style. First commenter to identify what brand piano I have wins a virtual prize.

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.
