Freestyle Scat Singing
Parked the car. PARKED. Not driving :-) And started singing. It's fun sometimes to just see what comes out. Thanks for watching!
Performing
I perform as often as I can all around LA and Orange Counties. Most often, I am playing solo piano and singing, but I also perform with my quartet regularly.
Some of my favorite local collaborators are Mike Scott, Shane Savala, Bruce Lett, Lyman Medieros, Steve Cotter, Kendall Kay, and I could go on and on.
I love to play and you can always find my gig dates on the “GIGS” tab of this site.
Freedom Jazz Dance Jazz Scat
Freedom Jazz Dance” is a jazz-rock piece that was composed by Eddie Harris in 1965. The “free” in the title comes from the fact that there’s only one chord, a Bb7, and during your solos you can basically play anything you like over it, going “inside” and “outside” at will.

Aimee's Original Song, "Young Again"
I wrote this song about my little brother who we lost in a car accident when he was 17, back in 2001. Scott's birthday is approaching and this time of year always brings back happy memories from when we were kids. This song was included in my 2010 album, Just Us with guitarist, Hideaki Tokunaga.
