Paul Thompson: The Genius of Chuck Rainey

Lake Street Dive: Automatic (Live on a Boston Sidewalk)
We love Lake Street Dive, thanks in large part to Bridget Kearney. 10 years ago, they performed a cover of “I Want You Back” on a Boston sidewalk. Here’s the band performing a cover of The Pointer Sisters’ “Automatic” in the same spot.

Tim Starace: “La Villa Strangiato” Bass/Keys/Pedals Cover
When I watched this video by Tim Starace, I thought to myself that he’s making his music room double as a home gym. Here he is playing bass, keyboards, and pedals on “La Villa Strangiato.”
Herbie Hancock and an All-Star Band: Hang Up Your Hang Ups (Live)
