Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good to You
Oak Heights - (Live)
Douce Ambiance
Recorded live at Dominion On Queen in Toronto, January 2008. The clip was recorded by Igor Resovsky for broadcast on OMNI TV (Channel 4 in Toronto) The tune was written by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and is a well known standard from their repertoire - arranged by me for trumpet and violin.
Nuages
Recorded in my office with an old Sony digital camera. The accompaniment is a very simple arrangement, performed in the background by the popular Band In A Box program. "Nuages" ("Clouds") is probably Django Reinhardt's most famous tune. I taped it in August, 2009.
Groovy Romance
A song I wrote a few months ago for my wife. I wrote it as I drove home from a gig, humming the first verse into my mobile phone. I then finished writing it in my driveway. This version was recorded at the REX Hotel and Bar in Toronto, in March 2009. It features Abbey Sholzberg on bass and Sean Bray on lead guitar. Taped by Aaron Campbell Sholzberg.
Black & Blue
Fats Waller's bluesy lament written in 1929; I recorded it back in 1999 in Chris Hess' studio "Cow With A View" I sing and play three different guitar tracks. The artful animation was put together by Mari Kusanagi, who attended an improve / composition class I gave, liked the tune and uploaded her video on YouTube.
