Aloha Fellow Ocean Waves and Sound Waves Friends,
Jazz invades The Beach Boys!
For this week’s video we’ve got a great tune lined up. It arrives with a creative chord progression including modulations and time warps — a perfect vehicle to impart some jazz influences into. Leonard is in his falsetto, Allison sings backups, I’m improvising the body electric, and Tripp’s taking his EWI (electronic wind instrument) on a sonic exploration that’s roars and finally lands safely into a gentle bossa nova groove.
Unheard of! Only Brian Wilson could have dreamed this one up.
Peter Sprague — guitar

Still hanging ten after all of these years, best, Peter
