"Never Never Land" from Peter Pan - Fun exploring on this great song with music by Jule Styne and lyrics from Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Such a hip song with wonderful chord changes and a memorable melody and lyrics.

"How Deep Is The Ocean" - One of my favorite standards by the great composer Irving Berlin.

Arrangement from Gary Burton of Michel Legrand's "The Summer Knows". Dug this up from the files and got this way back from Gary during lessons in the 70's. Some really nice things in here in terms of the harmony, techniques and voicings.

The harmony is based off of Tony's chord study in the pop up class 2 weeks ago. I tried to make it lyrical using arpeggios, chromatic bass lines and surround notes, as well as with 3 and 4 note chords. I am still working on learning to play my own arrangement accurately... sigh.

Maestro Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriele’s Oboe” from the movie “The Mission”. A gorgeous piece of music and beautiful movie theme. He left us with such an impressive legacy of music that will continue on.

Thank you Maestro Ennio Morricone for your beautiful music. RIP.

"What The World Needs Now" - from a social distancing session yesterday for July 4th. Nice playing and hang. Nice to be able to play with people.
