Emily

Welcome back to Tea with Liya! Today, I'm playing a jazz standard called "Emily," composed by Johnny Mandel. This song was written for a film in 1964, but in the end it wasn't actually included. It became popular when the pianist Bill Evans recorded it a few years later. I hope you like listening to it!

Peri's Scope

It's time for more music on Tea with Liya! Today's song is a bouncy jazz piece called "Peri's Scope." While writing my post, I was thinking about how the song repeats melodic phrases to make it more cohesive. I hope you like listening to it!

B Minor Waltz

Welcome back to Tea with Liya! It seems like only a couple days since May started. In this post, I'm playing the song "B Minor Waltz" composed by Bill Evans. I also have some things to say about strengths and weaknesses. I hope you enjoy the song!
