This Livestream features two of the brightest stars of modern jazz today.
Pianist Fabian Almazan was born in Cuba, grew up in Miami, and studied in Northern California at the Brubeck Institute and with Kenny Barron at the Manhattan School of Music.
A longtime member of the Terence Blanchard Quintet, Almazan has worked with many other top artists including Gretchen Parlato, Paquito D’Rivera, and Ambrose Akinmusire, and released five albums of his own.
Bassist Linda May Han Oh, who was born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia, played several instruments before settling on the bass in high school.
She has worked with many of the who’s who of jazz during the past dozen years including Pat Metheny, Steve Wilson, Jon Irabagon, and Billy Childs.
On April 18, 2020, Linda May Han Oh and Fabian Almazan teamed up for a set of colorful and diverse originals, with the music starting three minutes into the performance; they clearly inspire each other throughout.

Review:
This is the seventeenth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Chick Corea, one of the major jazz pianists for the past 55 years, shows no signs of slowing down even under quarantine conditions.
Starting on Mar. 20, 2020, the pianist has been performing a livestream (frequently lasting 30-60 minutes) on a nearly daily basis.
Sometimes he stretches out on a standard or one of his originals, and at other times plays quite freely, creating a unique medley of ideas and styles.
The Mar. 22, 2020 performance has interpretation of classical pieces, Duke Ellington’s “In A Sentimental Mood,” one of his Spanish pieces, Bill Evans’ “Waltz for Debby,” an unusual version of “The Man I Love,” and finally some Thelonious Monk.
Through, Chick Corea’s playing is fascinating to watch unfold, giving one an opportunity to see a true master at work.

You can follow Bill Frisell here.
Review:
This is the fifth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Bill Frisell has always been an intriguing guitarist, whether it was playing episodic avant-garde jazz early in his career, working with John Zorn and Paul Motian’s trio, or leading his own often Nashville-influenced groups which can be thought of as modern Americana.
Always a self-sufficient orchestra (with Motian and others Frisell’s guitar playing made having a string bassist unnecessary), he is a natural to play solo guitar which he does throughout this spontaneous and thoughtful performance from April 2, 2020.
Bill Frisell creates a nonstop medley of songs, going from one tune to another without a moment of hesitancy.
Starting off with the verse of “Someone To Watch Over Me,” and including a surprising version of “New York, New York,” Billy Strayhorn’s “A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing,” “Lush Life,” “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” a blues that finds him exploring some otherworldly sounds at its conclusion, a Beatles song, and some originals, Bill Frisell holds one’s attention throughout; there are no slow or wandering moments.
The results are quite memorable.
