What Is The Dave Matthews Band Song That In The Video Its Raining And He Is Playing A Piano?
The song is a slower song & kinda a sad one. I watched the video once but I cant find it. The music video kinda shows a lot of things but i remember that he was playing the piano & it was raining I think.

Help With Jazz Band Piano Auditions?
On Tuesday I will be auditioning for my High school Jazz band. The music director asked me to play piano for the band next year because the current pianist will be graduating at the end of this year. I have never played Jazz before, I’ve been strictly classical. I’m late intermediate to early advanced in classical music, I can play things like Chopin prelude number 4, 15, 20, etc. moonlight sonata, Mendelssohn’s gondola songs, & the Rachmaninoff prelude in C.
I am currently working on the scales for jazz piano. I need to audition with F major Blues & B flat major Blues along with a selection from a piece & improvisation in B flat major.
I’m fine with the first two, scales are no problem & the piece is easy. Improvisation is a problem. I have never done any sort of improv before, let alone in a certain key. I’m not very familiar with keys & stuff like that, I just have always played to play.
Any pointers & tips or links to tutorial websites would be so helpful! I’ll be practicing on my keyboard unfortunately for the next week, as my piano is being repaired. Figures. 
Thanks very much!
