Jason jumps In

Gunhild Carling original, feat Jason Bellenkes - Speakeasy

[from [gopher://codemadness.org/1/idiotbox.cgi?v=hnGywhDsoFE](gopher://codemadness.org/1/idiotbox.cgi?v=hnGywhDsoFE) with a few corrections.]

Jason jumps in is an original composition by Gunhild Carling (cornet/trumpet).
Here featuring Jason Bellenkes on the alto sax, Idun Carling trombone, Viggo Carling banjo, Lakshmi Ramirez Bass, Tsugumi Shikano drums, Neil Fantano piano, and behind the camera Johnny Bloom (Johan Blomé).

Recorded at Gunny’s speakeasy Oct. 2024

The lyrics are

Alexa, can you play saxophone?
Because today I’m feeling alone
No family or friends on the phone
I’m listening to smooth Emmett Cohen
Jason jump in
Where have you been?
All I need is more saxophone

Gunny's Speakeasy Live from California

Gunhild Carling, Idun Carling, Viggo Carling-Blomé, Johan Blomé, Jason Belenkes, and Endikah Courir (2024)

Gunhild plugs her new album. Idun's apparently on break from UC Irvine, where she's an undergrad. Look for her videos. She's made a few in Irvine at Hangar 24.

China Boy

Gunhild Carling, Johan Blomé, their children Idun and Viggo, Nanna Carling, and others (2022)

This was posted on February 26, 2014, but the performance was on December 30, 2022. It was at Keystone Korner in Baltimore. As usual, Nanna was having the most fun. (She's one of the daughters of Gunhild's older brother Max Carling.) Viggo does a great job on drums. Unfortunately, I don't know who that is on clarinet. Whoever it is, he's great!

China Boy is a hot jazz standard.

Gunhild Carling and her Speakeasy

from a secret location somewhere in NorCal, livestreamed Feb. 18, 2024

Excellent work from Nathan Tokunaga on clarinet and sax! This guy's only 17. We need to watch for this name in the future.

This video is Gunhild's usual mix of her own compositions, New Orleans jazz from the 1920s, and a little other jazz not so hot. The second song is "Sister Kate" ("I Wish that I Could Shimmy Like my Sister Kate"), followed by Idun Carling singing "Meet Me Where They Play the Blues."

Carling Family Jazz Odyssey (album)

Carling Family (2024)

I assume it's 2024.

Songs:
1. King porter stomp
2. Black bottom stomp
3. Cannon ball blues
4. The chant
5. Buddy bolden’s blues
6. Save it pretty mama
7. ALAMEDA
8. I’LL BE A FRIEND WITH PLEASURE
9. HOOSIER SWEETHEART
10. THE JAZZ RECORDER
11. STARDUST

I'm going to assume that the people pictured are the musicians on the album. I'm also going to assume I can correctly recognize them. So Gunhild lying on the piano. Gerd (gunhild's sister) playing the piano. Viggo (Gunhild's son) on the banjo (because he's blonde and young). Aina (Gunhild's mother), also on banjo. Idun (Gunhild's daughter) on trombone. Max (Gunhild's older brother) on clarinet. Ulf (Gunhild's younger brother) on drums. I suspect Gunhild drew the album cover.

Exactly Like You

Idun Carling, her mother Gunhild, her brother Viggo, and her father Johan (2021)

I’ve posted at least one Gunhild Carling video before, but today I’m concentrating on her daughter Idun. If I’ve figured this out correctly, Idun is still only about 18 years old. Like her mom, she sings, dances, and plays the trombone. Gunhild’s family are all multi-talented performers. That’s Idun’s brother Viggo on clarinet, and her dad on sax.

Carling’s kids use both their mother’s name, Carling, and their dad’s name, Blomé.

Idun is pronounced ee-dun.

"Exactly Like You" was written by McHugh and Fields in 1930.
