Do people like us still make CD's? Is there a point to doing that? I'm curious because things have changed so much since I was active in it full time. What is the standard media product for artists like us? Recordings have pretty much…
Great standard written in 1947 with lyrics by Sammy Cahn and music by Jule Styne. Many great versions of this song by vocalists and instrumentalists. Two of my favorite are from Chet Baker and Keith Jarrett.
One of the aspects that I was…
This is an articulation exercise in the style of an Indian Raga. I use lots of accents and different stickings for the repeated notes so that the sound constantly changes through varied articulation. There's lots of double stickings, i.a.…

I posted a lesson recently where I posted the voicings and you guys supply the rhythms. Here is an etude of my rhythms and chords.
You put the chords in. It will help you memorize them. Note the upper partials and add them in as well.…
Here's a simple study to get you started with the 'bebop' blues. I always thought of the 'Blues For Alice' changes as a rebellion against the blues. Maybe this is not accurate but it explains a couple things for me personally. When you…
I was jamming with some guys last night & "What Is This Thing Called Love?" was called. I had learned the tune a few years ago but didn't really remember it, & kinda picked it back up as we went along. Looking at it again briefly…
Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. One of my favorite songs. One of my favorite versions is from Joe with beautiful singing by Kenny Washington. Please check that out if you haven't heard that yet.
