  • First in a series of three videos showing the New Zealand School of Music Jazz Guitar ensemble, directed by Nick Granville. The tune was written by the great Stevie Wonder, as a dedication to his daughter. If you enjoy please share this video. Also, please remember these guys are students so be kind. Many thanks to Richard Caigou for giving up his Saturday to do this and to the great musicians involved.
    Thanks for watching and remember to subscribe to my UA-cam Channel. More videos to come soon.

    What a wonderful idea to put these students together for a video performance. This helps them stretch and grow as players, not to mention it's recorded for posterity sake. One day they'll look back on this fondly. Thank you Nick for thinking of doing this and for sharing it with us. Very, very nice!

    Nice one man! Glad to see that music knows no borders. Anyways if you can get these young talents to do another one of these, do you reckon you can do an Invaders song? All things aside great work, looking to hear more of these.

      Thanks! I'm no longer teaching at this Uni so it'll be up to the current band director to do any future videos. I've thought about doing some multi-track stuff (eg 5x of me!). So might get round to that one day. Cheers

      Craig Sinclair do you care to show how it’s done then? Also, what were you hoping to achieve by making this comment? Did it make you feel better to put down others? Maybe, just maybe, consider keeping your thoughts to yourself next time...
