I listened to Martha's same old blues. Did you write it? The title makes me think you did. But my friend John Shepherd plays Swinging Shepherd Blues, written before he was born.

Mini review

Martha's same old blues has a jazz feel even though the arrangement is straight ahead blues. Except there is a bridge where Martha modulates three times to good effect. The organ solo also adds to the jazz feel while maintaining standard blues instrumentation. A fun song with a good lyric.

Iโ€™m not sure why the link to the video appears in the post but not the video preview. I see that many other posts have YouTube videos embedded. How can I do that?๐Ÿค”

To give you a better idea of my work, hereโ€™s a video from a project of a few years ago, where we reimagined some of The Beatles' songs in a jazz style. It's a special album for me. Listen to the full album on YouTube! ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ‘‡
