Hey Chas, that was some very tasty organ work! Would love to hear a collaboration with you and Russ on guitar.
As for the new stuff, I’m fairly familiar with it as I’m a high school teacher, have a teenage daughter, and my band plays a few recent hits. For the most part there’s not much for a jazz musician to work with melodically and harmonically.
Jazz piano great Brad Mehldau has done some done some interesting things with post Great American Song Book material . Not sure if it’s your cup of tea, but perhaps he can give you some ideas. If not, nothing wrong with doing standards , even young super stars like Lady Gaga still do them . As Americans, the songs from that era are something we should all be proud of!
