It's always fun to groove on baroque music
Let me know what you think please.
It's always very helpful.
Hi guys!
Recently, I have been working on how to manage the space in sound playing ballads.
playing in duo with a bass player is a great exercise for that.
we recorded an old tune :"The folks how live on the hill" sings usually by Peggy Lee.
Hope you will enjoy.

Cherokee - this morning's practice focusing on playing 8th note lines using mostly alternate sticking.
Hi All,
Yikes, the August show is tonight, August 6th! Sorry for the last-minute notice. The month got away from me! Don't forget there is always the rebroadcast on the following Wednesday at 4:00p.
Tonight is 8-10p, www.wwfm.org. This is our new website that will take you to our stations, classical and jazz. Select jazzon2 to get to the jazz side.
One of my favorite songs from Pat Metheny. A lovely song beautifully played by Pat. The album "Letter From Home" is also one of my favorites from Pat and his group. Here's my take on it. I was going for a subtle version with restraint and a focus on playing counterpoint using dampening. When Pat was playing with Gary in the 70s, I remember going to Gary's office at Berklee and many times seeing Pat dabbling on the vibes. He sounded good too!
Fairly easy drive into Boston this morning so I had some practice time before class. Warming up with a bluesy version of Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore".
