The fact that yesterday’s choice is associated in my mind with a quite specific time and place has led me to the ‘theme’ for the next few days. I am sure that everyone can relate to the idea that hearing a piece of music can transport you back to somewhere/sometime.
Year: 2020
Medical Memory
Today’s “big” piece is actually quite short compared to some of the Monday choices recently. Apart from being a ‘significant’ piece of music for Monday it is also following on with the theme of “pieces of music I first heard by accident”.
Change Of Style
There are many great musicians around who are masters within their chosen genre – a much less common skill is the ability to really pull it off when switching from one style to another – plenty of examples of people not quite managing that! Wynton Marsalis is just one example – I have heard him play classical and jazz effortlessly.
Trumpet Duo
Digging once more into my saved videos on YouTube I have come across this impressive trumpet playing for tonight’s choice.
Soft Jazz For Friday
As usual – something gentle for Friday.
Silence Disturbed
I’ve no idea how I originally came across this recording, but it was immediately saved in my YouTube list. It is a great example of something that I “stumbled upon” and really liked.

An Old Favourite – A New Take On It
I am well aware that even though I am familiar with lots of music there is even more that I do not know.

Mountainous Music
Many of the links I have included have been to music that I have played, but there is far more music that I have encountered “by accident” so to speak – although I guess that since I have rarely been in the position of choosing the repertoire that I played even those were accidental encounters.
A New Take On An Old Hymn
A familiar hymn today – maybe an unfamiliar arrangement
