I first saw one of Yoon's didgeridoo videos, then saw he also has some handpan stuff. This one includes both, plus some beatboxing. He gets sounds from the didgeridoo that are just amazing, I'm guessing a result of being so skilled at beatboxing
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

Jazz Fuel: Best Jazz Piano Albums of All Time
ETA: As far as best selling of all time, I wonder if Ludivico Einaudi is creeping up on him. Probably not with a single album, but I suspect he's selling a ton.
ETA2: Nope, I've looked his figures up, Einaudi is nowhere near Jarrett's Koln Concert even totalling all his albums. Koln alone is over 4 million, while Einaudi is maybe just 1.5 million all up. Except the site I got Einaudi's figures from has obviously bogus figures for Jarrett so so should I trust it for Einaudi?
Personally, I really like Jarrett's work with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette, but the Koln Concert is special, no doubt about it.The Köln Concert (1975) – Keith Jarrett
The Köln Concert is nothing short of a phenomenon. The best-selling jazz piano album of all time and the best-selling solo album of any genre, it has sold well over four million copies to date.
The story behind the 1975 performance at the Opera House in Cologne has become almost as famous as the music itself. Jarrett was suffering from a back problem and had to wear a brace to play.
He had been struggling to sleep as a result and was exhausted after a long drive from Zurich.
A mix-up regarding the piano meant that he arrived to find an inferior, out-of-tune Bösendorfer baby-grand instead of the 290 Imperial concert grand model that had been specified.
There was no time to source a replacement piano and the instrument was so poor that the pianist originally threatened to cancel the concert.
However, following several hours of desperate work from piano technicians and a lot of cajoling from the promoter, Jarrett finally agreed to perform.
The piano tone was still horrible, with jangly, piercing high notes, a woolly bass register and a sustain pedal that wasn’t working properly.
Somehow Jarrett managed to work with and even transcend the limitations of the instrument.
Relying heavily on left-hand ostinatos and focusing mainly on the middle-register of the piano, he produced two remarkable and spontaneous improvisations lasting 26 and 48 minutes respectively.
Some critics would argue that there are better Keith Jarrett solo performances on record, but the fact that the Köln Concert continues to captivate listeners over 60 years later remains a testament to the triumph of creativity over adversity and the magic of improvise.
ETA: As far as best selling of all time, I wonder if Ludivico Einaudi is creeping up on him. Probably not with a single album, but I suspect he's selling a ton.
ETA2: Nope, I've looked his figures up, Einaudi is nowhere near Jarrett's Koln Concert even totalling all his albums. Koln alone is over 4 million, while Einaudi is maybe just 1.5 million all up.

Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down
But they have a value you can't see...
This is my neighborhood
This is where I come from
I call this place my home
You call this place a slum
You want to run all the people out
This what you're all about
Treat poor people just like trash
Turn around and make big cash
Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down
But they have a value you can't see
Last month there was a fire
I saw seven children die
You sent flowers to their family
But your sympathy's a lie
Cause every building that you burn
Is more blood money that you earn
We are forced to relocate
From the pain that you create
Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down
But they have a value you can't see
We lived here for so many years
Now this house is full of fear
For a profit you will take control
Where will all the older people go?
There used to be when kids could play
Without the scourge of drug's decay
Now our kids are living dead
They crack and blow their lives away
Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory
These houses may look all run down
But they have a value you can't see
You've got to fight
You've got a right
To fight for your neighborhood!

Though shalt not nap while the organist plays or even try to converse without having to shout.
I am playing this piece as a postlude in a couple of weeks, and while I have suitably loud reeds (Trumpets, Trompette en Chamade, Tuba Magna, Bombards, etc.) it is nothing like those reeds on Spanish instruments.

Freezin'
Rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again
Oh, feelin'
Maybe he'll see a little betters, any days
Oh, hand out
Faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar
Oh, dark grin
He can't help, when he's happy, he looks insane
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Oh, someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again
Kneelin'
Lookin' through the paper though he doesn't know to read
Oh, prayin'
Now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin'
Understands the weather of the winter's on its way
Oh, ceilings
Few and far between all the legal halls of shame
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Oh, someday yet he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands gently lead him away
Him away, him away
Yeah, ooh, ah yeah, fuck it up
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Ah, someday yet he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands gently lead him away
Him away, him away

I remember seeing them live in concert back in the day - they were touring with Journey as opening act, and no Steve Perry at that time. The Skynard audience got restless and was booing until their final song (forget what it was) was so great the audience was happy again.

Tom and Dickie had a soft for The Hello People too. I think this is one of the things that got them in trouble.
