JazzMando What's New - JazzMando fave, Aaron Weinstein breathes new life into this Irving Berlin classic, "Slumming on Park Avenue" with his signature effortless mandolin chord melody magic that will make your head spin. Notice, his fingers never leave his hands (although you'd swear they did). The New York multi-instrumenalist dances over the frets like Baryshnikov.
Enjoy:

"Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are
Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on Park Avenue ."

NOT Bluegrass, that's what it is, an' it ain't no part o' nuttin'

Wow, I really enjoyed that arrangement. I'm surprised there aren't more comments, although I just now saw it. I'll have to check out more of Aaron's stuff. He's very talented. And thanks Scott for posting. It's nice to hear a good jazz piece, and I certainly appreciate a diverse diet of music at the Cafe vs. all bluegrass all the time.

I think I remember this kid. I hear hes been hanging around with that Stiernberg guy on the northside. I hope he he doesn't pick up any bad habits from him.

I have heard him play violin with Don Stiernberg's group. He is an outstanding young musician who can really play the Django Reinhart, Stephen Grappelli style of Jazz.
