You ever heard of Medeski, Martin, & Wood?

Yes, I have yet to find anything on youtube, any recommendations?

Heres some Thelonious Monk

"Blue Monk"

truly, the beginning of modern jazz was at the core just playing whatever you wanted such freedom in his hands when he plays the piano!

There's tons of MMW on youtube.

Check em out..it's good stuff.

This is a personal one of my favourties. The originals by Glenn Miller sounded shite from youtube.

I played 1st tenor on that song for a local jazz band

Those are some amazing skills! Thank you for sharing.

And now for the Empress of the Blues

Bessie Smith

If you've ever had your heart broken this song will pull a few tears
