Keys: Jason Corpuz

From Janis: Jonathan came to this project by way of my friend Diane Schuur, “Deedles” to her friends. I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with his work before, though I should have been – he’s all over the jazz charts and magazines. Like Diane, he has marvelous taste in musicians, as witness the work of Jason Corpuz on keyboard. This no-frills “lockdown take” is a notable departure from his trio and big band work (check his Youtube channel for some great live pieces). Thanks for joining us, Jonathan and Jason!

BETTER TIMES WILL COME
(Janis Ian)

Better times, better times will come.
Better times, better times will come.
When this world learns to live as one,
oh, better times will come

When we greet each dawn without fear
knowing loved ones soon will be near
When the winds of war
cannot blow any more
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS

Though we live each day as our last
we know someday soon it will pass
We will dance, we will sing
in that never-ending spring
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS
