The Bad Plus has an esoteric and mellow version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, but we weren't aware of that until recently. We may have been influenced by some of these versions. Bobby Broom did an excellent version of Layla on his album Modern Man, and Charles Earland covered The Way You Make Me Feel. Eleanor Rigby has been played by Wes Montgomery and others. As far as we know, only four of these tunes have previous Jazz performances. The "new" tunes seemed a good fit for the venue and the band.įew, if any, of the tunes on this release could be considered standards. When OJT started performing at the Green Lady Lounge in early 2013, we immediately began playing our organ jazz arrangements of hit songs of the last few decades along with our original tunes and standards. Usually they are mid-20th century Broadway show tunes, or some are original compositions by Jazz musicians that have earned the title Jazz standard. "Standards" are the tunes that Jazz musicians play. This music only happens with your help.Ī big thanks to our families and everyone who encouraged us and helped us with this project. Special thanks to John Scott and the entire staff of the Green Lady Lounge, 1809 Grand Kansas City Missouri.Ī big thank you to all of the music fans who come to the Green Lady Lounge every week.

The enthusiasm of the crowd and growing familiarity of the members certainly helped fuel one of the young trio's best performances. This album was recorded live back in August 2014 in front of an amazing crowd. Paul Shinn Trio has released their sophomore album Easy Now: Live at the Green Lady Lounge. Green Lady Lounge is now carrying a growing variety of CDs by Kansas City Jazz musicians.
