I think it was Roger that mentioned in the last video lesson I posted of Donna Lee my eighth notes were straight. I thought it was just for the lesson and I was demonstrating something.
But I guess they're pretty straight here also. I guess it's how I play it especially solo.
I love it!

I've recorded a couple of albums recently at the same studio - both my own record which is coming out later in the year, and another band I'm in which we're recording right now.
Another discovery - By his name he should be Polish. A lot of body language but I like what he plays. Enjoy...

"Well, that night, I was working over Cherokee, and, as I did, I found that by using the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line and backing them with appropriately related changes, I could play the thing I'd been hearing. I came alive." -Charlie Parker
Do you get it? It's really why bebop is great to play and study. I love listening to it also. Reminds me of Bach.
What do you guys think?
Hello fellow vibist!
Well I recorded this video as it was a live performance so..i told myself no stopping and try to
get a decent performance! I have a concert this July and I want to do a great job-hence this video as playing / posting for vwshop folks help me minimize my nerves, especially when it comes to solo playing fun, but the whole band stops and the audience stares at you. (kindly we hope!)
Playing bebop heads at ANY tempo is really great for your hands. I am getting so much out of playing through all these tunes every day. Making lessons and videoing and just playing the heads and chords is an amazing thing to do for my playing and I assume will be for yours as well.
I hope you guys really put time into all this!
