The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra was founded by trumpeter Russell Gunn in 2018.
Based in Atlanta, the ensemble combines together big band jazz with r&b and funk; they have released one album thus far: Get It How You Live.
Gunn has always been open to a wide variety of music and, while based in bebop and Charlie Parker, he has kept his ears open to newer sounds.
This intriguing LiveStream from July 25, 2020 features the Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra with Gunn conducting and playing his electrified trumpet on several originals including “The Critic’s Song,” “Sybil’s Blues,” and “Lyne’s Joint.”
While often danceable, the colorful music also contains plenty of unexpected moments along with fine soloists and singer-dancer Dionne Farris.

Review:
This is the hundredth and twenty-first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Singer Alma Micic and guitarist Rale Micic were both born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia.
Alma began singing as the main vocalist with the Radio Belgrade Big Band when she was 16 and performed locally; in 1995 she moved to the U.S. to attend Berklee where she graduated in 1999.
She has worked and taught in the U.S. ever since.
Rale Micic also graduated from Berklee and has recorded regularly for the CTA label.
On their set of charming and lightly swinging voice-guitar duets from their LiveStream from July 24, 2020, Alma displays a quiet but powerful voice while Rale is a one-man orchestra who makes the absence of piano, bass and drums unnoticeable.
The duo performs “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To,” “Moonglow,” “Estaté,” and a few originals, some of which could pass as jazz standards; Alma and Rale Micic are well worth discovering.

Review:
This is the ninety sixth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
A brilliant jazz pianist who can be a real powerhouse on uptempo tunes, Otmaro Ruiz was born and raised in Venezuela.
While being trained to become a biologist, in 1983 he chose music, becoming a busy studio musician in Venezuela.
Ruiz moved to Los Angeles in 1989, playing with Alex Acuna and gaining attention for his work with Arturo Sandoval; he has since led his own groups, performed with many greats from various genres (including Tito Puente, Herb Alpert, John McLaughlin, Dianne Reeves, Lee Ritenour, Hubert Laws and Brian Bromberg) and led at least seven CDs of his own.
On his LiveStream from July 23, 2020, Otmaro Ruiz plays an exploration of “What Is This Thing Called Love” and performs his colorful originals (some of which have romantic melodies) which display both his impressive technique and his vivid imagination.
