In this video I'll cover different strategies and approaches for creating lines using simple triads. The idea is pretty easy and comes from the triadic harmonization of both major and minor scales.

Hope you can get something helpful out of this lesson.

Might be a nice TOTM. 

It really is a great study of harmony! 

Hello all! Here's my version of Etude 5 from the Dampening and Pedaling Book!

The great Irving Berlin ballad.

I'm always amazed at those old xylo players. Honestly I can't believe that that instrument was that popular. It's bizarre to me. 

But Teddy is great, and I'm always watching his videos.

It's also interesting to me to listen to music where they have no real concept of bebop, rock, rap or anything. 

Hey One and All,

Happy New Year!

JazzOn2 is up and running once again, and that makes the beginning of a happy new year.  Two months ago we experienced an equipment failure.  It took all this time to get the replacement and install it, which the wizards who plug everything in and connect all the programs to each other have successfully done.  They're worth their weight in precious metals.  

I'm working out a solo version of "I'll Be Seeing You." Loosely based on the attached lead sheet.

Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, stride piano, sliding, big band shout choruses, walking bass lines, block chords, and much more! Let me know what you think!

Took a little longer getting this all together than anticipated due to holidays and work, but felt I was at a point I could post this stuff and keep on going.  

The goal of this round was to put a solo take of Blue Bossa together.  Things I worked on with Tony to get here are:

Rootless minor chords - 3,7,9,11 in all keys https://youtu.be/w-GSikYfuGk

Rootless Maj 2-5-1 progression on vibes min9, Dominant13(b9), Maj9 https://youtu.be/BrFjBZM7CQk

In yesterday's presentation for the Vibes Congress, David proclaimed that he was NOT Satchitananda Guru. OK. I get it, but... I've spent time in both worlds and, given the things he was talking about, this made me have a moment of "things that make me go hmmmm."

First, since most of the folks who frequent this site are a bit young, Swami Satchitananda is probably not a guy who is a big part of your life; allow me to bring you up to date on who he was.
