I’ve Got You Under My Skin
This is our trio version of one of our favorite Cole Porter tunes. Thanks to Hank Hirsch for his bass work.
Don’t Explain
This tune was recorded at Duck Love Studios in Portland. I’ve always thought this soulful ballad is one of Billie Holiday’s best. Note the lovely sax solo played by Gary Harris.
Two Spirit Jazz enjoys performing and recording with many of Portland’s amazing Jazz Musicians. We are so proud to be able to call two of these amazing musicians our bandmates: Pianist, Bill French and Vibrophonist, Connie Johnson. Our listening selections include: Three samples of our most recent “Demo” recorded at Dead Aunt Thelma’s Studio in Portland, OR.
