Randy Cole, the producer of this video, is a great asset to Montreal Jazz. Not only does he produce fantastic content, but he clearly has a real love for the subject, which comes out clear as day in the recordings. This is a beautiful bit of Montreal jazz giants Kevin Dean, Al McLean and Mike Rud.

“Lingus” from Snarky Puppy’s 2014 album ‘We Like It Here’. A true gem for anyone who loves modern jazz, but this song in particular highlights the virtuosic talents of keyboardist Cory Henry. Just the expressions on fellow keyboardist Shaun Martin say it all. Mind blowing! Beautifully recorded audio and video.

Metropole Orchestra is a multiple Grammy winning jazz and pop orchestra based in the Netherlands. This performance was a part of the BBC Proms 49, broadcast live from the Royal Albert Hall in London on August 22nd, 2016 featuring Jacob Collier performing Michael Jackson’s ‘Human Nature’. Not quite pop, definitely not classical, but I believe it merits inclusion in todays Jazz recording of the day.
