We all wish David Friedman a happy birthday.
I know I'm honored to have him here at vibesworkshop.com! What an honor for all of us to be able to chat and learn from him. He has been so kind to offer his time and energy and…
those solos look like some serious practice is coming by (again...)
I have the secret wish that Gary may have the time to say a word about it.
If anyone knows them and want to give me some advices, I'll be glad !

the duet is on the site. it's on the front page at this point.
listened to you more. think about your voicings. make sure the harmony stands out. compare to mine and we can talk next time we have a lesson. off to bed.

I started working on a solo version of "Spring is Here". I am finding it very difficult. I can't think of much to make it sound interesting or good. Any ideas?
