Ciao,

I'll be in Manhattan Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Is anyone aware of any places to go to see live vibes?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
This is an etude of the tune days of wines and roses where I try to combine the lines and the harmony. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks

Does anyone have any advice for publishing your original music? I've been doing a fair amount of composing lately for a CD project I'm working on, and I was wondering how the process works, is it worth doing, etc.

A little while ago Mike Pinto mentioned the benefits of publishing your tunes and I looked into the company he's with, but they seem to require more stature in the industry than I have. Does anyone have suggestions that will work for people with day jobs?

Any advice appreciated :-). Thanks in advance.

So I think a bunch of us should go nuts and make a commitment to rhythm changes.

If there was a good commitment we could even plan some things. Maybe get some guys over here and do a vibe hang where we play ONLY rhythm changes or variants of!!!

How about one head many keys every 4 days!

Lots of ideas. Who would practice the crap out of rhythm changes???

It's this time of the year again! Its the end of the semester and I'm working lots of gigs. That spells chaos for me!! This is a crazy time, and I can't wait for it to end, so I have lots of time to practice and hang out on the site. I have lots of ideas for rhythm changes lessons, so I'm eager for all this to end!!!!

I am keeping an eye on things and hanging out a bit but I'll be back in full strength in about a week!!!!!

I just got the info through FB... Teddy Charles left us on Monday at age 84...

Here is a link about it: http://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2012/04/31512/jazz-great-teddy-charl...

And a link to what we have about him on the site: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/node/6887/

So I am in Texas visiting my folks, which means I don't have a vibe with me. I used to get really bummed about this. Having to spend a week or so away from my instrument. I have since come to look at it as a forced "put yourself in a box" situation. I still have a keyboard here, so I can practice music, and it forces me to practice specific things. This week I decided to focus on comping/ voicings/ and learning tunes in other keys through the "vehicle" of chords/ voicings. I found this article (for a guitar magazine as you can tell by the tab) by my old professor.

Man, it's the end of the semester here. I'm working my ass off between gigs, students, classes and setting up my summer.

Musicians HAVE to think at least one season ahead. It's spring and if it isn't happening it probably won't. Get to summer. I bet the heavy cats are thinking 2 seasons or a year ahead. OK.

Anyway, let me officially announce we are working on Rhythm changes now. This is our tune of the month, officially.

So, why don't you guys blog about rhythm changes. What do you want to know? What do you think about??

I've got 2 high quality mics for sale. These AKG c-414s are excellent for studio recording or amplification on a gig. They are large diaphragm condenser mics that recording engineers have used and trusted for years.

This mic has 4 settings - cardioid, hyper cardioid, omni, and figure 8. It has 2 roll-off settings for low frequences of 75 hz or 100hz. You can also reduce the sensivity by 10 or 20 db. Both come with windscreen, mic stand adapter, case, and user manual.
