Video | Jazz on the Tube

During a period of time when the blues are often watered down by mixing it with r&b, soul, rock and pop music, Swamp Dog sticks to the classic electric style that really matured during the 1950s and ‘60s.

On his LiveStream of Dec. 7, 2020, Clark begins with “Everyday I Have The Blues” and then plays his spirited brand of the blues at a variety of tempos and grooves while joined by guitarists Joe Poppen and Ken Sparks, bassist Mike Pryor, and drummer Andy Hamburger.

This is the one hundred ninety-second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

A young drummer with lots of potential, Ryan Sands is from Orange, CT, earned a degree from the New England Conservatory and a Masters from the Manhattan School Of Music.

The younger brother of pianist-vibraphonist Christian Sands, Ryan Sands has worked with his brother, Phil Markowitz, Dominique Eade, Christian Sands and George Garzone, in addition to his own trio.

On his LiveStream from December 4, 2020, Ryan and his trio start by performing a long and episodic work that covers several moods and grooves while being quite accessible.

They also perform Billy Strayhorn’s “Isfahan” and other originals; unfortunately the fluent guitarist and excellent bassist, who combine with Sands to form an attractive group sound, are not identified but they are well worth hearing.

This is the one hundred ninety-sixth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Taimane, who was born in Honolulu, started on the ukulele when she was five and has become a virtuoso on the instrument.

She was discovered by Don Ho when she was 13, studied with Jake Shimabukoro when she was a teenager, and was soon performing regularly in Waikiki, recording her first album when she was 15.

Taimane has led five albums so far, and worked in Japan and Hong Kong in addition to Hawaii.

On her LiveStream of Dec. 3, 2020, she is joined by rhythm guitarist Rachel Wood and effortlessly displays remarkable technique (putting her near the top of her field) while playing in a melodic and rhythmic style that looks towards classical music, flamenco, and fusion without really falling into any strict category.
