A little bit of Django

From the book “Swing Under the Nazis” by Mike Zwerin.

In the middle of an interview, Miles Davis looked at the camera and said: “I’m no accident.”

I think that’s true of everyone who has achieved something great in music.

A little about the early years of Django Reinhardt. His achievements were no accident either.

Review:

This is the two hundred third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Tim Ray, who has worked in recent years as Tony Bennett’s pianist and musical director, has appeared on over 100 recordings in his career thus far.

A versatile and technically skilled pianist who has led five albums of his own, Ray has performed with Kurt Elling, Gary Burton, Esperanza Spalding, Phil Woods, Scott Hamilton, Dave Douglas, Gunther Schuller, the Boston Pops Orchestra, Aretha Franklin, Lyle Lovett and many others in addition to Tony Bennett.

On his LiveStream from Jan. 30, 2021, Tim Ray performs inventive solo piano versions of “All Blues,” “Moonglow,” “Speak Low,” a quirky reworking of “Tea For Two,” “Blackbird” and some lesser-known material, all of it played with creativity and joy.

Guitarist Terence Young was born in Elko, South Carolina and is based in Columbia, SC.

A fine player whose music stretches from soulful jazz to r&b and rock, Young leads the Finesse band and in his career has performed with a variety of r&b groups plus Al Jarreau, George Duke, Gerald Albright, and Joe Sample.
