On Sunday (February 26), the 12-year-old Bushell gave fans a new video of her playing the classic and super precise jazz standard “Caravan.” The tune requires speed, precision, and a great deal of memorization. The song was also central to the 2014 Oscar-nominated film Whiplash.
“My most DIFFICULT cover EVER,” Wrote Bushell on Twitter. “#Caravan from the movie #Whiplash – It took 3 months to learn. #Practice #Practice #Practice – Full Cover on YouTube. #jazz“
Bushell also had some more good news. On February 6, she posted that she was made into a LEGO Friends character.
“I can’t believe I am actually a LEGO Friends character!!!” she wrote. “Watch my full reaction video: https://youtu.be/fm4bMOSQnYs – @LEGO_Group#lego#legofriends#friends“
Bushell’s latest cover prior to “Caravan” was a multi-instrumental rendition of the infamous James Brown hit song, “Funky Drummer.”
“Improvised alto saxophone solo over James Brown #funkydrummer!” she wrote, advertising that one on Twitter. “This is the first time I am posting an improvisation. I wanted to try and make my own version of #jamesbrown funky drummer. Having fun pushing my skill and knowledge. #clydestubblefield #maceoparker #charlessherrell.”
