Playing bass

Featured

For the past two years I was studying bass guitar at McCormick school of music. We had some fun times playing during school’s showcases and monthly jazz jam sessions. Here we practice song “Chega De Saudage” by Tom Jobim before performance.

I had the most humble and talented teacher, Mr. Jacob Chatfield who created performance opportunities for me. Here is our rendition of “One Note Samba” during “Latin jazz” house set at McCormick School Jazz Jam.

Original Composition ” Theme for Katya”

This is an original composition called ” Theme for Katya”. It’s written for my younger sister who lives in Pennsylvania. I wrote it shortly after relocating to California from New York in 2011, missing my sister a lot. There is certain amount of nostalgia and sadness in the theme.  Beautiful, warm tone sound and improvisaion on the electric guitar by Sandro Eristavi. 

Playing with Sandro Eristavi

 This is our newest recording of the song “O Pato ” by Joao GIlberto. Playing percussions is a  multitalanted instrumentalist and a song writer , Sandro Eristavi. Together, we have prepared a very interesting program consisting of jazz ballads, swing tunes, hits from 70’s and of course, bossa novas and sambas. More videos are on its way.
