This gem of a song penned by the great New Orleans songwriter and piano guru, Allen Toussaint, has always been a favorite of mine. It just moves me. Such an honor to have singer extraordinaire, Andrina Turenne, lend her stunning vocals to my Toussaint-inspired piano rendition for a soulful collaboration between dear friends.

Here's my attempt at Java, by the great New Orleans pianist and composer, Allen Toussaint. He originally recorded this song as a teenager in the 1950's.  I mic'd up my piano and added a little tambourine to get the groove bouncing a little bit. (Recorded on Steinway Model B and matched pair of Coles ribbon microphones).

After visiting the great songwriter, Johnny Mercer's, grave in Savannah, I felt compelled to eventually learn one of his most famous songs. It's totally outside of my "bag" of tricks as I don't really play any of the popular songs or ballads yesteryear, but the melody and progression is truly beautiful. So I gave it shot.
