Content type: Audio Player
This is our first try at recording this wonderful little song at a crazy, slow tempo. (The original version is up tempo!) I'm not sure if anyone under the age of 50 is familiar with this tune. The composer, Harold Arlen, wrote such…

I saw Tony's email on Friday with a link to the music for this, so I decided to take a look at it last night. And shot this video this morning. There's at least one wrong note, so I haven't earned the "free" skype lesson, yet...assuming…

Here's a chord melody followed by a challenging quarter note solo with chords. The first part is for everyone, the second part is for advanced students. It's a real work out on chords and voice leading. @Tristan - Can you play it?

An improvisation with me on 4-mallet balafon and Rakalam Bob Moses playing drums and percussion. This is the opening track of our duet CD called "Mobeus" where we surrender to the wild ride and "flow without measure."

Cherokee Etude A.K.A. The Suicide Etude
tonymiceli
Content type: Story
Here's the Cherokee etude. It's sooo hard, I'm burnt out on it! I give up. I wanted to play a bass line over a head. You can't do it over a solo really, but over a head I thought it was possible. I think it's a technique that can be…
