Moonlight Sonata goes Jazz!

Life. Don't talk to me about life. , Music

At one point this weekend I wandered through the lobby and past a room that just had a single baby grand piano in it. I had an urge to just go in and -play-. Just to work some rhythms out, quiet music for myself and if someone wanted to listen, that would be okay. I don't have that skill on a piano, but I sure had a longing for it...

This morning I found on a video on YouTube of a Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata done in Jazz form. It ends abruptly at about 2 minutes, but talk about a fascinating arrangement of what is (in my opinion) one of the finest pieces of music ever written.

Of course it's making me think about the lovely Roland electric piano sitting not 15' away from me, and not on the work I need to do. Ah distraction.
