Everything Happens To Me
Here is my rendition of Everything Happens To Me from my latest Jazz album "Oluwatobi." The first time I heard this I was transfixed and instantly fell into a melancholic state and began to blame myself for all the downfalls that I experienced in life. I was deeply troubled when a family member I loved dearly was diagnosed with dementia and this sent me into a depressive state, my only outlet was the piano at the time so I poured my heart into this one. I do believe I can never perform this rendition like this again, as that moment has passed into the ether. Please enjoy and let me know your thoughts. more

Fly Me To The Moon
Here is my rendition of Fly Me To The Moon from my latest Jazz album "Oluwatobi." This rendition opens with an introduction on the piano outlining the main melodic theme then the rhythm section joins in to provide rhythmic support for the piano, before the piano goes off on a solo outlining the melody. Once this concludes then "Give the drummer some" and then both the piano and rhythm section trade 4's. Let me know your thoughts.more

My Old Flame
Here is my rendition of My Old Flame from my latest Jazz album "Oluwatobi." The first time I heard this Jazz standard was when the famous Charlie Parker performed an exquisite version, at first the Jazz language was incredibly esoteric to me (still is). As Parker's alto sax pierced right into my soul I was immediately transfixed. It was at this moment that I hoped to one day be able to cover my own rendition. Here it is, let me know your thoughts. more
