Jacob Collier & Cory Henry ‒ “Billy Jean” at BBC Proms 2016
Cory Henry performs his own arrangement of Michael Jackson’s classic hit “Billie Jean” with Jacob Collier. I particularly like the electronic & orchestral combination of sounds – I’m a great fan of both these artists.
Triangle – 16th Tokyo Jazz Festival
I just love Senri Kawaguchi – an amazing young drummer from Japan. Take a look at their interpretation of the Dave Brubeck classic (which is HIS take on Mozart’s Rondo a la Turk) ‘Blue Rondo a la Turk’ – in 9/8 rhythm with all sorts of 4/4 – 3/4 cross rhythms – absolutely stunning!
