We would like to introduce you to Bernard "B.K." Jackson, he is a 17 year old saxophone sensation who stimulates the soul with rejuvenating gospel and refreshing jazz.   While on stage, his youthfulness explodes as he commands his audience with a maturity well beyond his years.  He has received numerous awards for his talent, with the most recent being winning the 2008 Capital Jazz Fest Competition.  Feelin Saxy is a cut BK wrote when he was twelve.

"Moonlight in Vermont" is a popular song about the U.S. state of Vermont, written by John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf and published in 1943.

The lyrics are unusual in that they do not rhyme. John Blackburn, the lyricist, has been quoted as saying, "After completing the first 12 bars of the lyric, I realized there was no rhyme and then said to Karl, 'Let’s follow the pattern of no rhyme throughout the song. It seemed right.'"
The lyrics are also metrically interesting in that each verse (not counting the bridge) is a haiku. The song is considered an unofficial state song of Vermont and is frequently played as the first dance song at Vermont wedding receptions.

The song was recorded by Jo Stafford in 1946, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong in 1956, Frank Sinatra in 1957, Sarah Vaughan in 1958, Earl Grant in 1961, and Willie Nelson in 1978.

There are few sycamore trees in Vermont and few meadowlarks; Blackburn, who wrote the lyrics, was from Ohio.

Ya It was a nice evening... I had a really cozy dinner, took some beers, lied on my sofa, click the record button and just enjoy improvising for fun.......

Mah Smooth Jazz Improvisation

Let's take six musicians and make something in 6/8ths - "Take Six" it is!

I'm very proud to present to you an original, spring-welcoming, smooth-flowing jazz piece, with some of the finest (jazz) musicians here on SC. 

My immense gratitude goes to these guys jumping aboard without hesitation on basis of a sketchy idea I had - to forge a six man collaboration, upping the stakes of complexity. Coming out at the other end with another, great learning experience to behold and a track I will cherish.  

Enjoy!
