Short Stories: 4 - Teach Me Tonight

What else makes Cara feel small? Singing with a big band.

I had the great pleasure of attempting to cover the classic Teach Me Tonight, a very loose and low-key jam night at home with The Executives Band giving it our own little twist. We were graced by the presence of Jay Cummings, veteran drummer of the Stan Kenton Orchestra who has played with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, and the Glenn Miller band.


Must-see: Dinah Washington's version, Frank Sinatra's version, and of course that of (my greatest influence) Amy Winehouse.

Note: Don't mind my Swiss uncle's little cameo, he's having a good time. Ha ha :)
