musical healing
April 17, 2009I love Jazz.
Thanks to papi I had plenty of brass around the house to tinker with as a little tike. Legend goes that mi padre has a recording of me singing along to him playing the Tenor Sax...
So when life gets a little hectic and sometimes it seems I can't get myself going, I put on some Jazz, heavy on the trumpets please.
It's no secret that I dig the Menahan Street Band, their last effort plays more than once or twice a week on my Treo. But I found something more uplifting.
There's a video on the ol' youtube of a performance by a school band in Clinton Hill (I think) in NYC performing MSB's "Make the road by walking." It is awesome. Little kids doing music of this quality is always inspiring. Definitely makes me feel like something much better than what we have accomplished so far is coming and that's pretty inspiring.
Here's their performance. Oh, and you have to give them madd props, the actual Menahan Street Band was in the audience when they performed this..talk about bravery.
And here's the original for your comparison...they did awesome in my humble opinion.
