“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play.”
-Cabaret by John Kander (music) and Fred Ebb (lyrics)
Hey friends, family, and smooth jazz aficionados!
I hope this note finds you grooving smoothly through the early days of fall. Last month, amidst the hustle and bustle of live gigs, I had a heartwarming opportunity. Wedding bells were ringing, and as the newlyweds took to the floor, the melodies of Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon In The Sky” flowed from my instrument. Witnessing love unfold right before my eyes, complemented by such timeless music, always feels surreal.
Reflecting on this, I realized that over the years, I’ve had the honor of setting the mood for countless first dances. Here are a few tunes I’ve played that never fail to make an impression:
- “Ribbon In The Sky” by Stevie Wonder
- “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran
- “All of Me” by John Legend
- “Let It Be” by The Beatles
- “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green
- “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne
- “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran
Music has an incredible power – it does so much more than just enhance moments; it etches them into our memories.
I am grateful for your unwavering support. Keep an eye out for my upcoming gigs. All details are provided below, and I’m eager to see you there!
