These are videos that I like: Laurent Rochelle, sunset, Jon Armstrong, studio

 

Today’s videos feature musicians who earned a spot on the Best of 2016 list.

First up is Laurent Rochelle OKIDOKI Quartet.  Their album Si tu regardes earned the #6 slot on this year’s Best Of list.  You can read more about that album here on Bird is the Worm (LINK).

This April 2016 performance at the Sunset à Paris jazz club is evidence that their talents lay not just in the recording studio.

Out next video features Jon Armstrong, whose album Burnt Hibiscus earned the #2 slot on the Best of 2016 list.  You can read more about the album on Bird is the Worm (LINK).

Taken from the Burnt Hibiscus recording session, this video of the song “There They Are” focuses on vocalist (and harpist) Sheela Bringi and trumpeter Clinton Patterson.

And here’s a LINK to another video from that recording session previously featured on this site.
