I bet you haven't, but let me tell you a little about him. He's a 24 year old jazz artist from Toronto. He is incredible. He jazzed up "Please, Please Me" by The Beatles (check it out at www.mattdusk.com). He also used a song, "Two Shots", that Bono originally wrote for Frank Sinatra. Tell me what you think. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

since you asked...i took the time to listen to the audio and video clips. personally, i think they're crap. the crooning on the "jazzed up" beatles tune is second-rate harry connick (which makes it third-rate sinatra). the other selections are uninteresting smooth jazz. definately not my cup o' tea.

This is my first affair, so please be kind
Handle my heart with care, oh, please be kind
This is all so grand, my dreams are on parade
If you'll just hold my hand, they'll never, ever fade

So tell me your love's sincere, oh, please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh, please be kind
'cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me, please be kind

Tell me your love's sincere, oh, please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh, please be kind
'cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me please please be kind

Tell me your love's sincere, oh please...oh please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh please be kind
'cause if you leave me, dear, I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me, please be kind

Somehow the thrill I feel is new
I never loved till I loved you
If you love me, please be kind
Please be kind

I'm afraid I'm stuck with the Classical Relaxation cds, Sade and an occasional bossa nova record, even though I *try* to slip some jazz into the mix, just to maintain the status quo.
I really tried to give it some variety, but the patients just don't seem to take well to Sonny Simmons for some reason, much less to Coltrane or even Bill Evans.
When someone asks for something more contemporary I instruct the staff to say that I'm old-fashioned.
One patient gave the receptionist a Kenny G cd for X-mas last year, kid you not. I confiscated it right after he left, no reason given. Don't ask me what I did with it.

Nothing beats R&B. I think it might be the only style of music that truly has no racial boundaries. Sade is surprisingly non-tiring. Al Grey also wears extremely well. So does Marvin Gaye.

My experiment with Ella's Song-Books didn't go as planned. Let's just say that show tunes had an interesting effect on one gentleman, but I politely declined the invitation.
Not that there's anything wrong with it...
