Josh Day - “Minute By Minute” (Doobie Brothers Cover)

Another classic, here’s my rendition of “Minute by Minute” by the Doobie Brothers. I’m no Michael McDonald, so the vocals were a bit half baked, but otherwise I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hope you guys like it too!

My dad was always a huge James Taylor fan, and I grew to love him through listening to him as a kid. “Hourglass” was a birth year album for me, so that one in particular holds a very dear place in my heart. Here’s my rendition of the first song off that album, “Line ‘Em Up.” Hope you enjoy it!

101 Eastbound has always been a favorite of mine within the contemporary jazz/smooth jazz space. I don’t know when I developed this particular version of it, but it’s been a back-pocket powerhouse for jazz gigs as long as I can remember. Hope you enjoy it!

Some of my students turned me onto this tune, and I was blown away how cool the harmony was. I just had to do a jazz version of it. Hope you guys like it!

My piano teacher turned me on to Ricky Peterson's rendition of the classic Bobby Caldwell tune "What You Won't Do For Love." It was one of the first times I remember realizing that you can do more than just cover a tune the way the original artist did it, and that you can really make it your own. Anyway, here's me covering Ricky's version the way he did it. Hope you like it!

"Autumn in New York" is a special one, as it was my first jazz standard. As in, when my piano teacher first gave me a copy of the Real Book to take home, this was the first tune I selected to work up. It has been a bit since playing it, but I had a lot of fun working it back up, so I hope you all enjoy it too!

Keane is my pick for 'favorite underrated band,' and I've loved their music for as long as I've been actively listening to music. "Your Eyes Open" is a prime example of their stellar songwriting. I hope you like it!

"Georgie Porgie" is one of a number of tunes I learned when I was a kid, which really sparked my interest in extended harmony in music, and was one of a few tunes that served as a gateway into the jazz world. 15 years later, I still love playing it.

"The Rescuers" was one of those films I watched a bunch as a kid and then forgot about for many years until I randomly found it while scrolling Disney Plus. One of the things that I'd forgotten about is how enchanting its soundtrack it. As a matter of fact, "Someone's Waiting For You" became so stuck in my head that I found myself singing it to my newborn son as a lullaby. With it being such a ...

The school where I teach uses a bell system that plays the local radio during passing period. It’s kind of fun, as it allows me to hear songs I wouldn’t normally search for on Spotify or UA-cam. This song in particular caught my attention, partially due to its use of extended “jazzy” harmony, but also due to it playing four times over the course of a week a few months ago. It put a smile on my ...
