VIDEOS OF MUSIC
WHO WILL SING LULLABIES
CHAN CHAN
LOSING MY RELIGION
CAN’T LET GO (OUR FAVOURITE VERSION OF THIS SONG)
WAKE UP
LED ZEPPELIN DOING KASHMIR IN D
JAMES HILL DOING KASHMIR IN C (WE ARE IN D)
C-Jam Blues – Oscar Peterson
This is crazy and really distracting, but fabulous. I’ve started the video at the rare bit in the song where the melody (which is very simple), is played. It’s such a great video and performance to watch, but some may find it boring. Notice how he ‘sings’ his improvisational idea. Notice the all white audience!
