Dave Clempson guitar solo



One of my favourite guitarists, Dave Clempson playing with re-formed sixties Jazz/Rock band Colosseum. I saw this band live at Chiddingfold Club of all places just over ten years ago - probably around the time this film was made.

Bohemian Rhapsody on Ukelele!!!



Just goes to show - anything is possible. Flawless live solo performance of Queens Bohemian Rhapsody on Ukelele.

New ways of composing and performing music





Tod Machover of MIT's Media Lab is devoted to extending musical expression to everyone, from virtuosos to amateurs, and in the most diverse forms, from opera to video games. There is a lot of information in this video, but stick with it for the amazing live performance by cerebral palsy sufferer Dan Ellsey - towards the end - of his own composition.

Bill Evans on the Creative Process


Interesting old interview with jazz pianist Bill Evans in which he discusses the creative process and the importance of not overplaying.
Stick with it - he does get to the piano to demonstrate what he means.
