Clip of Mark and I playing Henry Mancini's great song "The Days of Wine and Roses". Taking after Bill Evans' great version, we play the first half of the tune in F and then modulate to Ab for the 2nd half. I like doing this. It feels like it gives a lift to the tune. Bill does this also with Like Someone in Love. He was a master of playing standards in unusual keys and various modulations.

I love Mark's comment at the end of the clip. Other clips from the gig are up on YT and include All The Things You Are, Darn That Dream, Body and Soul, Topsy and Wave.

Similar to the first, but all open voicings.

Hi guys this tune that i wrote is about pedaling and dampening technique melodies and of course interaction of both hands.
Remeber to play the accompaniment softer than the melody

Hi everyone,

As many of you may know, my debut album "Mindset" was just released last Friday. For anyone interested in purchasing a copy, it's available on the normal sites (Amazon, iTunes: http://smarturl.it/mindset )

I've also been asked about signed copies, which I'd be more than happy and willing to do. For a signed, physical CD, purchase it from my website ( behngillecejazz.com ) and specify "Signed copy" in the PayPal shipping instructions.

Had a great day yesterday hanging with Dave at his house in CT. I picked up Gustavo in Boston and we drove down to Dave's house in CT. We went out for a nice lunch in Fairfield and then headed back to the house for coffee. We talked for hours sharing wonderful stories and talking about music. Had lots of laughs for sure. A very enjoyable and memorable day.

Excerpt of All The Things You Are from gig. Always a treat for me to play duo with Mark. And always a fun night to play at Li's (15 minutes from the house) and hang with family and friends. Thanks to Michael DeBruyckere for recording the night.
