Percussionist Shane Shanahan creates an awful lot of music from a single ancient drum.
With a background in jazz and rock and a career that has found him playing with Bobby McFerrin, James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Philip Glass, Chaka Khan and Deep Purple to name a few, conducting workshops and clinics, working on Broadway and performing with dance, theater and yoga groups, Shanahan has had a diverse and busy life.
On this fascinating display from April 23, 2020, Shane Shanahan creates a great deal of music from a single drum (sounding like several percussionists at once) , sounds like a tabla player on an Indian-inspired piece, and accompanies a singer on an early Jewish folk song.
The World Music is quite intriguing and haunting.

You can follow Mike del Ferro here.
Review:
This is the one hundred and eightieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Keyboardist Mike del Ferro was born in Amsterdam, studied classical piano from the age of nine, and switched to jazz a few years later, earning a Master in Contemporary Music at the Amsterdam Conservatory.
He extensively studied composition and arranging with Bob Brookmeyer and became an educator himself at the Royal Conservatory in Gent, Belgium.
Mike del Ferro has worked and recorded with such notables as Toots Thielemans, Branford Marsalis, Jack DeJohnette, Randy Brecker, Scott Hamilton, and Richard Galliano among many others, and has led more than 20 albums of his own.
On his solo LiveStream from Apr. 25, 2020, Mike del Ferro starts off with an improvised atmospheric ballad on his keyboards that builds up as it evolves.
The talented keyboardist also plays some other originals (including “A Little Waltz In B Flat”), performs “Blue Bossa” and a little bit of Jobim, and puts on a You Tube clip of Toninho Horta’s record “Aqui, Oh!”

You can follow Ann Hampton Callaway here.
Review:
This is the thirty third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Originally a cabaret singer, Ann Hampton Callaway has developed during the past 25 years into one of the great jazz vocalists of recent times.
A powerful singer (she can really belt out her notes but also is expert at dynamics and subtlety) and a skilled pianist, Ms. Callaway is also a talented songwriter, an occasional actress, and a stage personality.
On this solo set from Apr. 18, 2020 in which she accompanies herself on piano, Ann Hampton Callaway performs “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” a tender version of Stephen Sondheim’s “Not While I’m Around,” “Blue Skies” (which, after a melancholy opening chorus, becomes quite a tour-de-force), a heartbreaking version of “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” that is dedicated to the many jazz losses of this period, and a closing improvisation based on suggestions from her audience.
The results are quite memorable.

You can follow Miguel Zenón here.
Review:
This is the thirty fourth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Altoist Miguel Zenon was born and raised in Puerto Rico, was classically trained, discovered the music of Charlie Parker when he was around 16, and in 1996 began studying at Berklee.
During the past 20 years he has played adventurous jazz with the SF Jazz Collective and such notables as David Sánchez, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Danilo Perez, the Mingus Big Band, Steve Coleman, Bryan Lynch and countless others in addition to heading his own groups, leading at least a dozen CDs of his own.
While Zenón is best known for playing challenging originals, on this set of unaccompanied solos from April 12, 2020, he shows that he can also be a very skilled bebopper.
Zenón performs “On Green Dolphin Street,” “Everything Happens To Me,” a rapid “52nd Street Theme,” and “Mambo Inn,” building up each solo expertly, coming up with riffs that add to the momentum of the performances, and playing a nonstop flurry of creative ideas.
Miguel Zenón demonstrates that he is very much a jazz quintet by himself.
