The Folks Who Live On The Hill // feat. Christian Wiggs + Chad LB & Chimy

Happy Friday! Last summer, I was thrilled to move my Living Room sessions to ‪@MonksJazzClub‬ in Austin, Texas for an unforgettable weekend with the ​Christian Wiggs Big Band featuring ‪@ChadLefkowitzBrown‬ on saxophone, ‪@ChimyMusic‬ on bass, and Andrew Renfroe on guitar. I felt so at home at Monks during this residency with ‪@BandstandPresents‬- it truly felt like an extension of my living room 💗 We were able to find some time during sound check to record “The Folks Who Live On The Hill” which was beautifully arranged by the great trumpet player(and my old friend), Mike Sailors. This video is fitting to share now, as we will all be together again at Birdland in NYC this weekend! I had so much fun with this piece, and am excited to share that I will be back with weekly living room sessions, and will be releasing new music of my own this summer! Pre-save my upcoming double single, "Black Magic" now!

Wonderful, thank you❤

[@DanielGloverTheGreat]

I have always loved this song and boy howdy does Martina do right by it. And holy cow I never heard Christian until now. What a duo! Both sound like they're trying to sound like themselves. Too many people are trying to be a modern member of the Rat Pack or a rebirth of Bilie Holiday instead of maximizing their own sound. These two do it. Long time Martina fan and new Christian fan.

We were treated to a wonderful video recently which was taken down, I quickly listened at work and was really looking forward to watching it when I got home but by then it had been removed. Do you think you'll put it back up again?

[@bestclips2423]

breathtakingly beautiful

[@michellec3871]

What a lovely treat! 👏👏👏

Wow.. Love it!

[@isabelclinton9229]

What? With current property prices? You must be joking! Obviously Jerome Kern didn't know about interest rates going up! Seriously though, Martina you are pure class!

[@MartinaDaSilva]

💗💗💗

[@fred9199]

Perfect duet👍

[@MartinaDaSilva]

Thank you 🙏

[@richardklinger6376]

Sorry. Way way overdone. This is a simple, intensely personal, song that should be done, not as a "show me" persormance, but as a sweet and private communication from a man to his fiance/loved one. Not a lazz performance piece... doesn't work.

[@michaelsailors9434]

We'll try harder next time, Richard.
