Thanks so much Tommy. I really appreciate you giving it a listen.

Thanks Dave. Super kind of you to say. Hope you’re well.

Thanks so much. Yeah, that was one of many heads that went flying that night. I was pretty used to it. Check out the video for burning down the house. Three in one tune

Thanks Eric. And thank you for bringing to my attention that I hadn’t credited these guys. That’s andy Sanesi on drums and brian Charette on organ. We had made a record the previous year.

If you want your reharmonizations to sound more like jazz, you should think in terms of the melody being notes that are the7th, 9th, 11th or 13th of the chord as opposed to root, 3rd or 5th. Take "Mary had a Little Lamb", for example, the melody starts on an "E" in the key of C, so instead of using a C major chord to harmonize with that note, try using an FMa7, or Bb7#11, or Bmi11 or F#mi7b5. Move to the next note and apply the same logic. Remember, some chords in Jazz are used just for their color, but don't forget that there is a logic to a good chord progression - Tension and release is key. I hope this helps.

+Matthew Rockwell Sokolic I love these mallets. They are made by Innovative Percussion. We're working together to create a signature mallet which seems to be a blend of the Anders signature mallet and their 251.

Hi. Did I ever send you the sheet music?
