I'm trying something new and hope that it's of interest to vibe players and musicians in general. I'm inviting creative, improvising musicians to my home studio here in Berlin and sending these spontaneous encounters as a live stream through Stege.it. Here's the link for the first one today in the States and tonight in Europe.
Been meaning to post again for a long time now. Chord Melody on Miles's solo, then Milt's solo. Enjoy! Comments and critiques welcome.
Hi Guys this is the first lesson of a series called Comping 101 where I will cover a lot of the secret of this refined art.
Let me know if you have any question about this topic that you want me to explain!
Remember to follow me on FB and Youtube!
Have a nice week

So many great versions of this song. One of my favorite versions is by the late jazz harmonica player Toots Thielemans and pianist Kenny Werner. It was very sad hearing of Toots' passing last week. There was no one like him and it's such a huge loss. Toots and Kenny recorded this song on their duo recording. I also saw a video last week of Toots and Kenny playing this song in a concert. Toots playing the melody so beautifully on harmonica and Kenny backing him up on piano and synth with sensitivity and lots of harmonic color and variation.
Trying to catch the spirit of the blues. Not a piece of cake.
Hello all!
I hope we are doing well and making great music with our vibraphones!
Fun recording of a very young Gary Burton
