All the Young Guys Will Laugh! And It's not a Vibraphone.... However

It's a mallet instrument and all these old(er) people got together to make a group. I think it's pretty cool.

There are a lot of older people on the site who picked up the vibes later in life. That's amazing to me. There is one guy, Roger who lives in central PA, he works more than I do now.

Beautiful ballad written in 1940 by Rodgers and Hart. Some chord progression changes from Miles Davis and Keith Jarrett.

The book addresses a variety of voicing concepts as applied to the II-7 V7 I Maj progression as well as standards including Autumn Leaves, Green Dolphin Street, Stella By Starlight. Also included, chord melodies to You Are Too Beautiful and But Beautiful.

Humpty Dumpty - Just Putting This Out There

I have a buddy that picks a tune each week and sends out an email with a bunch of curated videos about the tune.

So I thought I'd post them here for everyone to see. And if you're interested you can check out the videos.

The tune is Humpty Dumpty the person is a great bass player, Tim Lekan. He used to live near me and now lives in Cincinnati I think. Also a great friend.

Dear all,
I'm very happy to present the " Odysseys " trailer with the amazing Alexandra Soumm on violin!
