Hi Gary,
I saw in the Shout Box that you had a tour coming up with the Piazzolla band. I'm a huge fan of Piazzolla and I know you are as well. His music is very deep and emotional. I have his book about his life. It seemed that he had very…

This is a recording of me practicing with my piano teacher. We were just working on learning the tune Blue in Green. I am going to go ahead and post this. Any tips are appreciated.
Hey there guys (and dolls) ! About time I posted my attempt at Invitation. I'm not too conspicuous on the site lately. I'm teaching (what little I know) a trumpet player who I hope will be a good playing partner someday. This takes an…
Here's a very impromptu lesson on Woody N You. I haven't played the tune in a while, but I remember really studying it back in the day and I was thinking of some of cool things about the tune after hearing Tjaco bring the tune up.
Here's…
So I'm messing around with Woody n You and I'm having trouble getting ideas. This melody is different from many others I play. So I'm trying to think about 4 mallets and what I'd do. Wasn't making much progress.
