IN THE JAZZ CLUB
On Broadway
Here’s my take on George Benson’s classic, “On Broadway,” performed live at an intimate jazz club. With its smooth groove and soulful melody, this song perfectly captures the vibrant energy and allure of the big city. In this performance, I bring a bit of that Broadway spirit to the jazz club, blending improvisation and rhythm to create a fresh, dynamic interpretation. The close-knit atmosphere of the venue adds to the magic, making each note feel personal and alive. Enjoy the swing and spirit of “On Broadway” in this lively, intimate setting!
Caravan
In this rendition of Duke Ellington’s “Caravan,” I dive into the exotic and unconventional rhythms that make this piece a true journey. Known for its adventurous harmony and pulsating beat, “Caravan” steps a little “outside” the traditional jazz sound, blending elements of world music with a hint of mystery and excitement. Performing this classic allows me to explore new musical territory, bringing out its rich textures and bold improvisation. Join me as I take this jazz standard to unexpected places, embracing the wild, untamed side of the music.

Set in vibrant Mazatlán, this fast-paced rendition pulses with rhythm and movement, capturing the joyful spirit of samba in every beat. The upbeat tempo and tropical setting create an infectious vibe, blending the thrill of live music with the essence of Brazil. Join me for a whirlwind of sound and energy, as we turn “No More Blues” into a celebration of rhythm and life!

Get ready for some groove! In this performance of Jaco Pastorius’ funky classic “The Chicken,” I dive into the rich rhythms and infectious bass lines that make this tune a jazz-funk favourite. With its tight, syncopated groove and playful melody, “The Chicken” is a blast to perform and always brings an energetic vibe. Great solo by Aidan King on the trombone! This piece is all about feeling the rhythm and letting loose, capturing the spirit of Pastorius’ signature style.
