Hi All,
As I write this I'm listening to Kevin Mahogany and "Just My Imagination," from his Pride & Joy album. Just Mahogany and the piano (James Weidman). I'll be playing it on my February show in his memory.
But let's do January…
Tony has challenged me to post 12 versions of Little Suede Shoes in 36 days (one every 3 days) in each key of the pythagorean 12 note system (well-tempered).
The rule: I must play the head, play Charlie Parker's solo, and then improvise…

"Miss Otis Regrets" - composed by Cole Porter in 1934 for the revue Hi Diddle Diddle that opened at London's Savoy Theatre. I was made aware of the song by Keith Jarrett who played a gorgeous version for an encore at his Carnegie Hall…
These are one of my go-to sets of mallets when I'm using the pickup system on my vibes, but I recently tried them on marimba and I LOVED the sound I was getting.
A session in Palermo, Sicily from 1980 with Ray Brown, Monty Alexander and Grady Tate. Milt at his prime digs into a an old time classic - Poor Butterfly - with his usual brilliance. There are a few quotes from various other tunes…
