“Try a Little Tenderness” was composed by James Campbell and Reginald Connelly and Harry M. Woods. It was introduced by Bing Crosby in 1933. Subsequent recordings and performances were done by such recording artists as Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Nina Simone, and Nancy Wilson. An entirely new version was recorded by Otis Redding in 1966. Redding was backed on his version by Booker T. & the MG’s. Redding’s recording features a slow soulful opening that eventually builds into a frenetic R&B conclusion. It has been named on a number of “best songs of all time” lists.

The First Noel (jazz version)

Don Grolnick was a two-fisted session pianist who also played with Michael Brecker in Steps Ahead and other groups.  His remarkable composition, Pools,  originally had an extended "verse" (or intro)which was fully half the song and is rarely heard now, but Axel Weiss recalls the flavor of it with his bossa ending.

A Little Part of Me -  Przemek Dyakowski (2007)

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
