Earlier this year, Tommy Emmanuel took requests on Reddit for songs to cover. Here’s one of the three videos that resulted: a medley of Dave Brubeck’s “Blue Rondo à la Turk” and “Take Five” and Ray Henderson’s “Birth of the Blues.” The other two arrangements are “Satisfied Mind” by Red Hayes and Jack Rhodes and “Purple Haze” by Hendrix. I went with this one because fuck yeah Brubeck.
I should point out that Emmanuel answered some questions from the internet in a video a couple of weeks after posting the covers, and in the process he revealed that he arranged and shot all three videos in an hour. Pretty much the greatest who ever lived.
