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.

with Viggo, Luke, Nathan and Johan (2024)

Johan Blomé on banjo, Luke Curly on tuba, Viggo Carling-Blomé on drums, Nathan Tokunaga on sax and clarinet, and Gunhild Carling on trombone, trumpet, vocals, and theremin. Yes, theremin.

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)

with Clint Baker, Riley Baker, Nathan Tokunaga, Viggo Carling Blomé , and Neil Fontano (2024)

This was live-streamed yesterday morning. Looks like Idun has gone back to UC Irvine. Nathan Tokunaga again, this time with his teacher, Clint Baker. The kid is so good! Neil Fontano, BTW, is also a great drummer.

Great performance of "Clarinet Marmalade" at 20:15. Incidentally, there's a great record of this by Wild Bill Davison and his Commodores. I'm sure I posted it some time in the past.
