Mid-Week Song


The Grammys were awarded on Sunday, and the big winner was the sensational Billie Eilish, the 18- year- old singer / songwriter who won four of the five major awards (for Song, Record, and Album of the Year, plus Best New Artist). We featured her hit song "When The Party's Over" a few weeks ago, from her award-winning album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" Another favorite of ours, former First Lady Michelle Obama, also won for the Best Spoken Album for her audio book memoir "Becoming," something that we can't imagine the current First Second Third Lady doing in her lifetime.

But, today we're featuring a jazz piano solo by Brad Mehldau entitled "Finding Gabriel," from his album by the same name which won the Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album. We hear broad echoes of Erik Satie and Duke Ellington in this lovely song. Enjoy.
