Practicing ! Practicing ! Practicing !
Some wrong notes in the theme will be fix shortly. This is a 235 BPM speed. I want to reach a good 250 cruise speed, lock the automatic pilot on to be easy, keeping on groovy ..... and good luck !
I always thought that working on something harder than something else also helped making that other thing easier. I thought practicing in odd times would help me play in even times better. That was part of my motivation of learning odd…
Here's the first lesson on a series that I'll be doing over the next couple of weeks on odd time signature playing. This lesson discusses the phrasing of a melody over a slow 5/4. I apologize for my meowing cat towards the end of the…
Since some of us probably play high a lot, I though this video might be interesting. I did a lot of drugs back in the day and played high a lot!
My favorite drug to play on was cocaine, but I did meth for a few years while I was in school…

Emilie and I were talking about that Locke/Hutcherson video, and suddenly Goldwing put it on top of the Pile! Funny! :o)
What about the legendary duets Hutcherson/Jackson? We know vids of Milt on the net are very few and tend to disappear…
I will talk about Jean Vanasse.. Quebec vibraphonist.
He studies classic percussion in quebec and montréal conservatory but when he finished (1975) he was directed primarily in the progressive jazz and composition with his quartet "L'…
All you guys who are getting too comfortable with your vibraphone jazz progress, better watch out. Here is another female getting awfully close to the top (is young and has time on her side). There is no information on this video (…
Just in case: I'm coming to Europe for the vibesworkshop workshop at the vanderPlas factory. I just remembered that I can bring a MalletKat over and save one of you European mallet players a few hundred Euro.
I should have written this…
Here N°11. One note ringing on bar 18.
Turning the page to have a look on N°12, the book's half is reached ! :o), but having a quick look further, there's 80% of the work to be done.....!!!
I was practicing 2nds over this tune. I thought I'd post it to see who recognizes it. The rules here are you can only let me know you know the tune in one of 2 ways.
1. Just tell me you know what tune it is.
2. Play the tune back to me…

Only 3 days after Milt's bdate, here we go with wonderful flute/sax master Frank Wess... who truly turned 90 today!!! Wow!!
And... what better pretext could we find to post Milt's Opus de Funk with Frank grooving on flute? Huh? ;-)
Happy…
We've talked about doing some lesson about working with singers. And they're coming, they're on my list.
I've spent the last month down here in St. Maarten working with a singer and a bass player. They're very close friends of mine whom I'…
Hey guys,
I just ran across this new vid of Gary and Chick playing Chick's arrangement (I'm assuming) of Chega De Saudade. I know they've been all over the place in Europe recently. This concert was in Istanbul. Brilliant arrangement by…
Hi all,
Here's a new etude for the site. If anybody found the other ones too hard, try this one. It's fun, and it's a little easier technically. Pdf is attached. Enjoy!
