Brubeck

So today I thought I'd feature one of my jazz musicians: Dave Brubeck and his quartet.

To start off here's one of his most famous songs, Take Five:



Another great song, Blue Rondo a la Turk:



Hopefully, you love this band as much as I do.

Sondre Lerche and thesixtyone

Today the musician I'll feature is a Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche. I first discovered his music from the movie Dan in Real Life. He plays great acoustic, and pop/rock music, that seems to give hope to that genre of music, which lately seems to be turning in a bad direction. Anyways here's a song from the Soundtrack of Dan in Real Life:



And a song from Heartbeat Radio:



He's on tour right now so maybe you can see him then...

Also, I found this great website for listening to new, emerging, or underground music. The music styles feautured on this website vary from electronic to rock. Totally a great place to find music if you're ever interested:

thesixtyone


EDIT:

He just recorded and posted this free to download session on his website today:

Castledoor

I knew a guy while back who was starting a band. He had a few people, including his wife in this band. They were a mostly alternative band with some indie influences. While as of now the band is broken up, some of the stuff they did was great and totally worth listening to.

But, to start out, here's a funny video!



So finally here's Castledoor with "Growing a Garden":



and an unreleased demo "Fall Apart":



Hope these beautiful songs brighten your day!

Guitar

As many of you, I love to play guitar. I'll show you two of my favorite guitarists, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Today I'll follow my normal format of course and show you a funny video that still follows the guitar theme:



and yes Michael Angelo Batio is actually playing that, he is the using minimum movement technique.


Now, here's Joe Satriani playing "Flying in a Blue Dream":



And Steve Vai playing "For the Love of God":



Hope these songs make your day better in some way, I know they did for me.

Blind Dates

While I've never been on a blind date (not really my thing), I've heard some funny stories about them. Here's a funny (and slightly creepy) video about a blind date (see if you can recognize the girl).



And here's a great new song by Radiohead:



And an awesome song by Blind Guardian:



So my question for you is, have you ever been on a blind date? How did it turn out?

Well I've been very busy lately. School starts soon for me so things have been a bit hectic.

Here's a really funny comedian. If you've heard Canon in D or Canon Rock played WAY too many times you will understand:


Here's a great Brubeck song:



Also here's a beautiful Miles Davis tune:



Finally, please recommended some jazz tunes that work well for piano, guitar, and drums. Preferably if you know where there is sheet music.
Oh and thanks for 100 followers!

New Jack Beard

So at Bearded Productions we started a new series called Jack-Beards, where we pretty much do stunts and stuff. This is a pretty ridiculous episode (it burnt alot):



If you haven't heard Pink Floyd's The Trial, this is definitely a must listen to song (really trippy animation):



Here's a classic Al Di Meola song with Paco de Lucia:




Here's another Al Di Meola song (also with Paco de Lucia):



Thanks for watching, listening, reading! Hope you all have a great day!
