Whenever I'm searching around YouTube, I'm always amazed when I come across pianists around the world playing convincingly in the style of a jazz giant. Or convincingly enough that they sound like they're having a ball. Yesterday, I found a bunch of Red Garland wannabes. I play some piano, but if I were to take lessons again, I'd aspire to play like Red. Who wouldn't?

Here's Hey Now...

Here's A Foggy Day...

Here's If I Were a Bell...

Here's Billy Boy...

Here's a blues...

And here's another Hey Now...

Jazz has been apart of my life from infancy. My earliest jazz memories are listening to musicians like Nat Cole and Ella Fitzgerald coming over the radio while still in the crib. My mother would sing along, which helped to get this music in my ears. I remember the newspaper headlines when Bird died - I was in third grade. At 13 I switched from trombone to saxophone after hearing James Moody on the radio. I started playing professionally at 16, and although it has often been hard to keep going I ma still here all these many years later. In my darkest days jazz saved my life, and it continues to inspire me to reach ever higher.
