Cocktails & Keyboards Episode 2 - Journey and The Aviation Cocktail!
The second video in my "Cocktails and Keyboards" series! In this video I perform the piano instrumental "Journey" by Michael Montes. If it sounds vaguely familiar to you, it could be because it was featured in a Canon camera commercial (in 2008!) which was where I first heard the piece.
The cocktail this week is the Aviation, which is listed by the International Bartender's Association as one of the "Unforgettable Cocktails" , first created by Hugo Ensslin in the early 20th century. Some recipes omit the addition of Creme de Violette, which can be difficult to find in some liquor stores even today

Cocktails and Keyboards Episode 1 - Berceuse and Amaretto Sour
zhlédnutí 154Před 5 lety
Hello all! I've decided to start a new series on my channel that I'm tentatively calling Cocktails and Keyboards, where I play a piece of piano music while showing how to make fun cocktails with an artistic flair! I briefly uploaded a few videos on Instagram in this style but the one minute time frame was too constraining. I decided to make some full episodes on CZcams instead! The audio is rec...
"Take Five" - Piano, Bass, & Cajon Trio!
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 5 lety
Please like, comment and subscribe for more videos! A classic jazz piece re-imagined as a trio using only piano, bass guitar, and a cajon! "Take Five" was originally recorded by the Dave Brubeck Quartet but has had numerous iterations and styles composed and recorded in the decades to follow. This video started out simply as a piano cover using sheet music I found from another youtuber (here's ...
Flea Market Cornet Repair and Restoration!
zhlédnutí 102KPřed 5 lety
Leave a comment, like, and consider subscribing! Hey guys! Today I figured I show you another project I've been working on. I picked up this old cornet at a flea market a few weeks ago, and it was barely playable. I gave it a little TLC, replaced a few parts, and gave it a custom paint job and now it looks and sounds amazing! If I can learn to play this thing, I may end up using it for future r...
(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Saxophone Cover (Filmed in Beautiful Acadia National Park!)
zhlédnutí 3,6KPřed 6 lety
A cover of a cover indeed! Otis Redding is the original artist for "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay, which in itself is an incredible blues composition. But a few years ago I heard a cover that Sara Bareilles performed from her album "Between the Lines: Sara Bareilles Live at the Fillmore". She brought the tempo of the song waaaay down, and in my opinion, added much more emotion and depth. I f...
Johnny B. Goode Saxophone Cover
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 6 lety
....well it's an oldie where I come from. Johnny B Goode has always been a favorite song of mine, both the Chuck Berry original as well as the remake for Back To The Future. I was looking for a song I could cover that would present a challenge for me on the piano; something fast and light but that still carried a lot of power. By substituting the guitar parts (and adding quite a few bits and pi...

This also gave me a chance to ...
Shape Of You - Funk/Pop Saxophone Cover
zhlédnutí 437Před 7 lety
The hit Ed Sheeran song now with a funky bass line! This track was a lot of fun to record, but also incredibly difficult because of the fast tempo and staccato lyrics. Overall I was going for more of a funk-pop type of cover with a dominant baseline, which can be heard clearly through decent speakers (smartphones may have issues!). Still didn't get the saxophone quite how I wanted it, but I thi...
"Go Robot" - Red Hot Chili Peppers Bass Cover (For 2 Bass Guitars!)
zhlédnutí 425Před 7 lety
A bass only cover of the hit song "Go Robot" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, except that one bass just doesn't do it justice! I think I listened to this track about 200 times trying to figure out the bass line and how exactly to split it up into two distinct parts. Since it is a "by ear" cover, I'm sure it isn't 100% perfect, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to play! The bass(es) were recorded ...
Wasteland Blues
zhlédnutí 274Před 7 lety
This was a fun track to write, it started out with just a simple bass line that I played and tuned until it sounded just right, then added the keys and cajon to get a nice funky-bluesy sound. After that the saxophone solo and chorus kinda went over, but I really wanted to add trombone to this piece as well, so I worked it in! All in all a really fun track to record, even if it did take me a lon...
Walking On the Moon - Jazz/Swing Cover
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 8 lety
mattbeachbeachhousemelodies.bandcamp.com/releases A more jazz/swing style of the classic song by The Police! The more mellow beat of the original is replaced by a more upbeat jazz piano and bass line, while the tenor saxophone fills in the space for the vocals. I had a lot of fun recording this track, and I borrowed a fair amount of the elements of my cover from another musician, Cas Haley, who...
Former brass player, and professional metal worker for 35 years. This really hurts as i was looking for videos on horn restoration. Even considering making my own professional quality horns. This is painful to watch.
Amazing playing of multiple instruments brother!!
Based on the before and after pics, I’d say you just ruined a descent instrument.
How are you playing now? Hopefully you continued on it.
My fiancé played this song for me when we first started dating back in 2019 and I’ll be walking down the aisle to this piano cover next November at our wedding 🥹
What a great performance and video! I think it took a long time to shoot and edit. I'm waiting for new videos.
We need more content like this. Sure, he didn't perfectly restore the cornet to its original form, but he made it playable and it looks amazing, without using fancy tools
Sir Matt you are a masterpiece and one of a kind. Is it okay with you if we can ask your HQ version for a wedding dance for me and my partner? 😍😍😍with love and support from Philippines!
I think it was great up until the painting of the instrument. The trumpet family is already way tinny sounding, probably hadls the same sound as a voice through a can on a string.
GREAT JOB PAL
Take Three
Amazingly played made me thick about my daddy sitting around playing his sax 😢 thank you I loved this
That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen done to a brass instrument.
amazing!😍
I agree the lowered tempo is much more emotional. What Tempo speed did you settle on?
Amazing ❤❤
is there any written sheet music for this?
Great Job 👏 Everybody👍👍
Sheet music or tabs anywhere brother?
Neato! That axe would be a blast to play in any group. Nice!
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music
Thanks! Very helpful for exactly what I'm trying to do. Also gave me ideas about things I hadn't even thought about.
Amazing! You should do a so lonely by the police cover next!
An expert would have fixed this instrument perfectly for very little
I love brass instruments and play many of them. I admire your approach even if it's not considered the most appropriate in the trade. Truth be told, the dents in the bell could probably be easily removed by an experienced tech. Usually a mandril is involved, as well as a "rolling pin" of sorts. I would highly recommend a rawhide mallet for any potential future restorations. They're designed not to damage brass. Also, a towel in the vice could potentially help prevent crushing brass threads, but don't quote me on that.
Why not just strip off the existing finish and let the horn develop a patina?

A blue, black shade of love Sent from above My hands are tied to worlds alone And this I know Your breath's like wine And just like clouds, my skin crawls It's so divine The sky it glows with fields of light Did you know that I love you? Come and lay with me I love you And honestly, I will love you You make me feel alive And I'll love you Until the end of time My hands shake clasped with fear As you come near To say goodnight, just like a dove A peaceful sign To help us by as you come in Let this begin Stars fall like dust, Our lips will touch We speak too much Did you know that I love you? Come and lay with me I love you And honestly I will love you You make me feel alive And I'll love you Until the end of time Did you know that I love you? Come and lay with me I love you And honestly I will love you You make me feel alive And I'll love you Until the end of time I've got a lot to say, if you will let me It's always hard, when you're around me But here right now, there's interest in your eyes So hear me out, and hear this the first time That I love you (come and lay with me) That I love you (and honestly) And I love you (you make me feel alive) That I love you Till the end of time
Instead of doing it yourself, this cornet deserves to be restored by a professional band instrument technician. You left the dents!!!?
I just love the unplugged bass
My wife has terrible anxiety and woke up from a nightmare tonight. I played this and she's now sleeping like a baby. Thank you for everything, even if it's just for tonight. It meant a lot.
I just recently found a trumpet that I bought that is from the 30s from what I can tell the brand isn’t even around anymore and everything is cork the spit valves everything the keypads but it’s all still there but I need to find some parts for it if anyone knows anything about the Abbott brand instruments from Czechoslovakian All I know about is that it is pre-World War II
In the gun world, this is what we call a “Bubba”. And don’t think for a second that’s a compliment.
I thought I heard "Take 5" during this. 🙂 One of my late fathers favourites.. but by Dave Brubeck Quartet. 👍👍👍
Excellent job !!! I purchased a Jupiter Baritone from a pawn shop for $50...Valves did not work...I took it home,,let the valves SOAK in valve oil...two days later, all valves operated just fine....Horn is valued $510 on line from Jupiter...great beginner baritone..I gave it to a local school band....
More AvA covers please.
Could probably have done most of that masking work with aluminum foil in minutes.
That’s a sweet old horn. Bravo. You are a artisan .
Why can't I not order parts at a music store anymore without giving all my personal information
Take the valves out so they can't get wet. Hey concept woodwind and brass instruments are constantly getting wet wow I don't think taking the valves out is going to help a lot you are truly not an engineer
Why can you not go to a music store and buy parts I used to do it when I was a kid and even when I went to the music store it only cost like 35 bucks to get an entire repair for my flute now they want $15 for each key and I have 14 keys and they will not save the parts unless you give them your personal information like your address and your name even your phone number and your email address now they know where you live where your kids live and you don't even know them and you don't even know anything about them why
Looked better before you screwed it up...
I just rubbed out 2 scarry dents on a flea market cornet. it was easy, I used the corner of a wood counter top. Wish you would have put the time into working the dents instead of the paint job. The lacquer was way better than the paint.
Painted dents look worse. You could have used bondo at that point!
This was an amazing process you have walked us through. Although I would probably never “sand” my instruments, I would like to know if the spray paint stuck well. Does it scratch easy? Does it affect the sound of the instrument? I genuinely would like to know if I want to take on a project as you have presented. All in all this was a risky but amazing transformation. SPECTACULAR JOB!
Mucho hablas . Cállate y labura
Interesting 🤔
how did you find this video?
@@ludwigvanbeathoven I searched “Jazz cajon”.
What did that poor old cornet do to deserve that? What you did was criminal. CZcams just gives other numb nuts ideas to do likewise. Shame on you.
Damn, just started playing trumpet. When he was cleaning the whole trumpet in the bathtub (I never have yet.) I hope he had a towel or rag under there... 3:31
He was already going to sand it so he didn't need a towel
