A mild amount of post-processing done with Ferox VST plug-in to give some added warmth and then I put a touch of reverb just because I felt like it. The on-screen keyboard from www.midiculous.com captured with Camtasia software. Video compositing and rendering done with Serif MoviePlus X3.

The easiest Blues melody of them all by Duke Ellington. Great first jazz tune!

A straight-eighth note jam by Eddie Harris.

It’s a good first tune for navigating “changes.” Nice easy latin tune in the key of C by Sonny Rollins.
