Listen to “America (My Country Tis’ of Thee” as arranged by Tobin Mueller and performed by Bill Evan. This unique version of “America” was inspired by Bill Evan’s contemplative composition “Peace Piece”. Jazz artist Tobin Mueller has since transformed the traditional tune with beautifully layered keyboards, bells and synths. Still, it may be his stunning standup bass work that truly sets this arrangement apart. Woody Mankowski’s lush vocals masterfully merge R&B, jazz, and patriotic reverence. Elements of hope, nostalgia, sensuality, and admiration flow through the performance.
The video includes breathtaking video from the best of the American landscape. Take the time to stop what you are doing and watch this video. It will reorder your day, your mind, your spirit.
