...just thinking out loud and letting ya'll know what I'm up to at the moment.

I've been sight reading every day for the last month or so. I just print 6 or 8 pages of a solo or something I find online, turn on a metronome and go.

To make a very long story shorter, the past month of my life has been CRAZY trying to find a new place to live, and practicing has unfortunately fallen on the wayside in the process (but I've been working on Rhythm Changes when I can...I'll record and post my final sometime this weekend!).

Let's wrap up rhythm changes this week. Yeah??? I've worked so hard on them the last couple months.

Maybe we just move into the world of bebop and see where that takes us, via etudes and whatever else.

This is not vibes but I think it's a great musical lesson: I discovered this tune today, after listening to a recent interview of Joe Locke where he speaks about it. I heard the Julie London & Shirley Horn versions with lyrics, the Miles/Evans' instrumental. But man when I hear this version I remain speachless: I've never been a great saxophone fan, but to me Michael Brecker here can make the words speak deeper than the lyrics themself... Wow... Enjoy

I discovered this video thanks to Christos Rafalides. I always loved this piece written by Joe Locke, but had never heard it by anyone else but him, and never as a solo piece! It gives it another dimension! Congrats to the performer, Dan!

here is a video from my last release album

here a part of a video from a gig in barcelona playing a tune from bobby album!
