#1232 Wu Fei’s Music Daily - Myron's drum 麦老的小军鼓 （video)
Today’s piece is inspired by legendary jazz drummer & a new, dear friend I made this year—the maestro, Myron Cohen. Look him up if you don’t know of him yet. Classic!

1229 Wu Fei’s Music Daily — Zebra grin 斑马笑
Today’s piece was recorded on 4-track guzheng. The inspiration came from a safari trip in South Africa about 15 years ago. I was fascinated by the wild animals that we passed by, especially the goofy & cute zebras.

Today was the premier of Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No.1 in C minor on Novmember 4, 1876.
It took him 20 years to finish the piece, living under Beethoven’s influence. I’ve always felt bad for Brahms because of this reason.

What a fun night performing w/ Abigail Washburn at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Gala and making new friends!
It’s nice to see senior officials & states people from 2 sides sit down to have dinner.
A battle of bands from both sides would be way cooler 😎🤘
