Yesterday I discovered a bad-ass instrumental (jazz) version of **[“Sleigh Ride,” by Chelsey Green & The Green Project](https://www.facebook.com/warren.shadd/videos/10207276279497228/)** (_this is a Facebook video that will start playing automatically_). I am now on a mission to tell the world. 😃

[Warren Shadd](http://www.shaddpianos.com/) is the world’s only African American piano maker: his top-quality pianos have been played at the Vatican, and are featured on _Empire_. He recently released a series of Christmas videos featuring some seriously talented local musicians, some of whom I’m proud to say that I know. The entire series is definitely worth checking out, but so far this one is my favorite. I immediately bought the MP3 (I got it from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018ULCGFW), but it’s also available from iTunes and other sources).

Enjoy!
