Review:
This is the fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Born and raised in Japan, pianist Yuko Miwa moved to the U.S. in 1997 to attend Berklee where she is now a professor; she has recorded eight CDs as a leader thus far.
An excellent modern mainstream jazz pianist, Yoko Miwa has been livestreaming on a regular basis during the current crisis.
The March 28, 2020 livestream (her second of the day) features her performing a swinging version of “I’m In The Mood For Love,” alternating in each chorus between two keys as Bill Evans (one of her influences) might have done; she closes the performance with a brief and catchy rhythmic original that leaves one wanting more.

You can follow Jane Bunnet here
Review:
This is the sixteenth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
In her career, flutist and soprano-saxophonist Jane Bunnett has consistently championed Cuban jazz musicians, visiting Cuba often to donate instruments and discover talent who she often added to her groups.
In recent times she has led the all-female Cuban sextet Masqueque, performing originals and folk melodies in a particularly inventive and infectious brand of Afro-Cuban jazz.
For this home concert from Mar. 30, 2020, Jane Bunnett performs with half of her group, interpreting memorable material with pianist Dánae Olano and singer Magdelys Savigne.
This setting is a particularly fertile setting for Bunnett who, in addition to her very important work as a talent scout, shows that she is one of today’s greats on both soprano and flute.

10 Rules for a successful livestream
- If you can avoid it, no need to get professional video people involved. Like doctors and lawyers they will complicate ($$$) everything. (There are some exceptions. See Live at Vito’s in Seattle)
- Simple and homemade is absolutely fine. People actually prefer it
- The first place to spend money/nerdom is on sound quality (good microphone or microphones, mixer)
- If all you can manage is one camera on a tripod, that’s fine, but if you have a band, it’s better to have a live person who can change vantages and focus on soloists
- Up close and personal is better than a camera shooting from the back of the room
- This is TV, the small screen, not a concert hall stage or a noisy club. Talk like you’re talking to a person, not an audience
- Make sure the payment/donation button is front and center and absolutely visible and easy to find
- Record and archive your stuff
- Make sure there’s a clear link to your merch – CDs, T-Shirts etc.
- Invite people to join your EMAIL list. Everything else (Facebook, Twitter etc) is a distant second in value
