The incredible piano player on this arrangement is my uncle, the living legend Joseph Joubert! He crushed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I believe NY has more songs about it than any other city.

This was a great tribute to a great city, a great song and a great musician. I love that his daughter was in there as well.

Went to New York in November of 2000. Got some great pictures of the world trade centers on the Staten Islands ferry. It was amazing watching the fast pace life style while I was just relaxing...and enjoying the show. Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, Central Park, Coney Island...some of the best food I've ever had. Best vacation I've ever had. Thank you New York.
