PROGRAM NOTES:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazz has always felt like a beautifully familiar mystery to me, like a language I was born with that I’ve forgotten how to speak. I grew up trained in the rigors and strictures of classical music; I spent countless hours drilling phrases repetitiously so I can meticulously translate each note exactly as written by the composer from page to stage, limiting my contribution to mere interpretation, never creation. And so, the improvisatory nature of jazz - the fact I don’t know exactly what I’ll play tonight - both terrifies and thrills me. Jazz and Arancini is dedicated to my wonderful husband, Terence.

The Chronicles of Zeke: Cat vs IKEA Bookcase Cube
Переглядів 25310 років тому
Zeke can be pretty silly. But sometimes, I think he's the smartest cat in the world. Zeke's normal toys are kept in a small basket out in the open, but recently I bought him a new toy with catnip which is kept hidden away inside an IKEA Expedit bookcase cube along with his brush, treats and other things. I came home last week to a new toy in the middle of the floor...seems like Zeke has learned...

We recently adopted a cat named Zeke (teedebny.blogspot.com/2013/06/do-we-have-to-change-our-lives-for-you.html). He's a curious kitty and so we thought it might be a good idea to try and teach him how to walk on a leash.

This is my arrangement of Jonathan Larson's "Without You" from the Broadway musical "RENT" and the smash hit single from David Guetta and Usher. Sorry for the poor audio/video syncing - the s...
