A few months ago, we mailed a video with two jazz pianists doing a deep dive into the extraordinary – and underestimated – song book of Carol King.
Here is a young (to me) trumpeter setting the world on fire with DEEPLY informed listening sessions.
He’s transcribed and memorized more solos that I can imagine any human being transcribing and every now and then he picks up his horn and plays along, note-for-note perfectly.
This is a relatively new channel and this young man is killing it. Let’s send him some love.
If you’re an educator, make sure your students are clued into this.
If you’ve never had the transcendent experience of listening to great music with an all-pro musician at your elbow, here it is.
(Note: You will surely be hooked after one episode!)
