Mark O'Connor Performing Modern Jazz On The Electric Violin
Remembering the amazing Whitney Houston on the day she passes. She is our musical angel for our country and a musical inspiration for our era.
A Tribute to Whitney Houston. The layers of a "jazz violin solo" featuring dissonance and consonance, syncopation and legato, intensity and solitude, power and vulnerability, the dynamic range of the ups and the downs, improvising off the cuff, needing to reinvent oneself, and the desire to communicate to others about a feeling we have, is why I chose this particular video to tribute Whitney. It reminds me of her life in music behind the hits, the difficulties of music making masked from us behind the finished "power ballads" that were glorious to us. I want to reflect perhaps the inner musician and artistry of her, so I chose this modern jazz violin solo - Expressions Of A Jazz Violin - We Have Always Loved You Whitney RIP 2/11/12
Musicians: Art Johnson, Peter Sprague, Bob Magnusson
