Got inspired by a video with George Benson playing with Benny Goodman! It’s in YouTube. We play in that same spirit here, but in our own way 😉🎻 Art is by Ken Taylor and musicians are me, Izaak Weatherwax, Sam Rocha and Miles Jensen 🖤 #jazzsky #violinsky

On this day of gratitude, I’m so grateful to Michael Feinstein for being a wealth of knowledge about how our American songbook was created — and of course for his music and friendship. It’s wonderful to share a tune with a friend 🤎🎻 #jazzsky #musicsky

Yes, I agree. Obviously, if I am playing a Django tune w/ a guitar player it is appropriate to say that that could be called gypsy jazz; Though I wouldn’t call it that. I would just call it jazz/ swing. But people hear me with a pianist playing a song from the 50s and still call it gypsy jazz lol 😂

Michael Feinstein singing for me the exceedingly rare verse preceding “Laura,” and of course always making me laugh as well 😇🎻 #jazzsky #jazzhistory
