Hey Folks,
Last minute gig announcement if anyone is in New York City tonight I'm playing with a really great band in Midtown at "Somethin'" Jazz club.
The band is;
John Ellis- Tenor Sax
Matt Clohesy- Bass
Nate Wood- Drums…
This is a "Work in progress". I record this tune every six months or so and watch the improvements in phrasing, timing, melodic ideas, reharm, counterpoint and so on .... ... see you this summer for a next version !
This is a gig I played in August 2011.The line up is John Rohde tenor sax,Rick Montalbano keyboard,Rick Montalbano Jr drums and myself Jimmy Johns(drumdog1) on vibes.

Okay guys, let's start working on lines. In this lesson what we will want to do is make very simple lines. In all these lessons we always want to hear the tune. It needs to be recognizable and obvious to everybody listening and obvious to…

What up, VWS. I am trying to post everyday, so in light of that... here is what I worked on for a good part of the day. I took an etude for Prince and worked it out incorporating all the sticks. This was pretty difficult for me. I mess up…
This video shows part of what keeps me from practicing my beloved melodic minor scales and tunes for the jazz-ensemble class as well as the tunes for the jams with my buddies outside of that and let alone logging onto this site for months…

This is my new quartet. This record was made in a concert last november, in a club near Malaga, my city.
We're playing a cool tune! Soul-leo, Mulgrew Miller's tune.
Enjoy it! I accept all of your reviews!
