“Mr. P.C.” is a twelve-bar jazz classic in minor blues form, composed by John Coltrane in 1959. The song is named in tribute to the bass player Paul Chambers, who had accompanied Coltrane for years. This song has become a major vehicle for jazz improvisation or all-out jam sessions.

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - cover by Frank and Jeremy Hsu
Переглядів 444День тому
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is a pop song originally sung by Darlene Love, released in 1963. Through the years it has gone on to become a Christmas standard, and has been covered by many famous artists. For this cover I tried to create a traditional big band sound. Most tracks including some backing vocals were prerecorded with the sequencer in the Kronos keyboard. I spent quite some ti...

“Words” by French musician F. R. David, released in 1982, this song was a huge European hit, peaking at number one in many countries. For this cover I performed as a duet by myself again. Using a synth and a keytar, I tried to create different sounds and groove to achieve a different flavor. Italo Disco is one of the music genre I enjoy deeply, and I will definitely cover more songs of this sty...
A Little Respect - Erasure cover by Frank Hsu

I love 80s music! “A Little Respect" is the biggest hit from British synth-pop duo Erasure, released in 1988. For this cover I try to perform as a duet by myself. Everything is performed live, no pre-recorded tracks using sequencer. The main rhythm and lead vocals were recorded first, then the second player was recorded later and overdubbed to the first recording. A really cool experience! I’ll...

“Body and Soul” saxophone improvisation by Jeremy Hsu
Переглядів 5436 місяців тому
This is Jeremy’s first real improvisation on alto saxophone. He’s trying to join his high school Jazz band, and this is his first assignment. Every week the band director will provide a Jazz standard piece and the students have to come up with their own instrumental solo. It took him two days (about 5 to 6 hours) to complete, and the result is very satisfying. Jeremy is very into Jazz music now...

In addition to rock, pop, and classical music, I also enjoy listening to film scores. “Scarface” is no doubt one of the most iconic gangster movie in cinema history, and I’ve watched it many times. The epic main theme, composed by the legendary Giorgio Moroder, is quite simple yet hauntingly powerful. Definitely one of my favorite! We really enjoyed playing this piece, will certainly be doing m...
