You can follow Nachito Herrera here.
This is the one hundred and eighty fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Although he may not be as well known in the United States as he should be, Nachito Herrera is one of the top jazz and Cuban music pianists in the world.
Born Ignacio Herrera (Nachito is a lifelong nickname), he performed with the Havana Symphony Orchestra when he was just 12, was a member of Cubanismo (becoming its chief arranger and musical director), and has since become in great demand both for jazz and classical engagements.
On this very impressive solo recital, Herrera plays both traditional material and his originals with dazzling technique, creative ideas, and a close attention to dynamics and mood variations; he also clearly loves to embrace rich melodies.
One listen to this LiveStream from Nov. 5, 2020 and it is quickly apparent that Chucho Valdes and Gonzalo Rubalcaba have some serious competition.

You can follow Melanie Scholtz here.
This is the one hundred seventy-seventh in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Born and raised in South Africa, Melanie Scholtz started playing piano when she was five, studied classical singing at the University Of Cape Town and has since released five albums as a leader.
She has performed all over Europe (being particularly popular in the Czech Republic) and has a strong command of the bebop vocabulary, as she shows on her LiveStream of Nov. 5, 2020.
Joined by Brian Charette who is best known as an organist (with an impressive history of his own), Melanie Scholtz displays a warm and strong voice, a wide range and a friendly personality on such songs as “Taking A Chance On Love,” “The Shadow Of Your Smile,” and “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.”

You can follow Drew Medlin here.
This is the two hundred and thirty-second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Guitarist Drew Medlin, who earned a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from the University of South Carolina (2016), is based in South Carolina where he has a teaching studio and plays gigs with his bands.
For his LiveStream of Nov. 4, 2020, Medlin is joined by excellent local musicians on trombone, tenor, electric bass and drums.
After their first number which is a bit reminiscent of the sound of the Crusaders, the music shifts a bit towards a more folk/pop style with the addition of a female singer who also plays guitar while the trombonist plays keyboards.
From then on the music becomes funkier while still containing jazz improvising as Medlin and his musicians (who are joined by a fine trumpeter) perform pleasing good-time groove music that includes some heated solos, most notably from the trombonist.
