All Of Me by John Legend (Piano Cover)

Nice jam with the two of us.  Chris does the fancy bits.

Manha de Carnaval (with Chris)

Here's a lovely melody that again features the violin of Gökhan Altınsoy, my friend from Istanbul.

Üsküdar'a Gideriken (with Gökhan Altınsoy)

Composition of the day.  Hope you like it.

1 minute 10 seconds*

I will do this song properly, I promise!  My falsetto is killing me.

My ridiculous practise take of "Alla Beni Pulla Beni"

Here are a few songs that have been rattling around my head and also a few creations.  The songs that are not mine are La Mer, and the theme from A Chorus Line.

Some old sounds and new ideas

This is my cover of Barış Manço's song, Dönence.  It may be cheesy but I like it anyway.

Dönence (Barış Manço'nun şarkısı)

Great song!  The falsetto was not an easy task.

Alla Beni Pulla Beni (Barış Manço cover)

Ragam Blues is a collaboration with singer Jaasmaan Rathore and pianist David Skolnick. This is our version of Kal Ho Na Ho. Enjoy!

Kal Ho Na Ho (cover) - Ragam Blues

When you wake up and your voice is suddenly an octave lower due to a cold, it's time to record a Leonard Cohen song.  Or at least that's what I'd do.

Coming Back To You - (Leonard Cohen cover)

My version of the famous gypsy tune on classical guitar.

Ederlezi

My first song in Farsi.  I've been singing this song for months, so now it was time to record it!

Gole Yakh (Koroush Yaghmaei)

Just some singing from the heart with a good friend.

David Skolnick
