Zaccai Curtis - Standard Series: "Days of Wine And Roses"

Here’s a quick one for the “Standard Series” at the soundcheck in Budapest for the start of a tour with 3x GRAMMY nominated artist Lakecia Benjamin. Here’s a quick rendition with EJ Strickland and Elias Bailey joining in!
“Days of Wine and Roses” composed for the film with the same name… by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer in 1962.

Man, you've really got a unique and soulful voice on the piano (unlike so many younger jazz pianists). To my ears, you play with authority, authenticity, grace and fire! I keep coming back to your standards videos. Bravo!
