Lots of people seemed to like the Perpetuum Jazzile video in my last post, so here’s another.
Man, these guys are good! Check back here for one more tomorrow…

Toto was one of my favourite bands, some scary number of decades ago. This is a fabulous cover of their most famous track, by a Slovenian jazz group…
Many thanks to Rob Feakes for the link.

At this time of year, as we know, angels are bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold.
John Naughton is posting links to an amazing interpretation of Pachelbel’s Canon on the electric guitar.
And I’m reposting a link to Jake Shimabukuro, who is bending near the earth in Central Park to touch his ukulele of gold. This piece transformed my view of the ukulele (which, I readily admit, wasn’t very well-developed beforehand!). (Update – that link is now dead. Try here.)
May you all have a musical, happy and peaceful Christmas!

Thanks to the Creative Generalist blog for this and lots of other great stuff.
