One of my favorite groups! This is cookin!

Listen to the lines and the counter lines. What a masterpiece.

Hey guys, here's a clip of On The Sunny Side Of The Street from a recent gig with some nice players and friends. Lance Bryant on tenor, David Clark on bass and Jun Saito on drums. There are some loose spots here and there, but we had fun. No rehearsal, just call tunes on the gig type of thing. There are more clips that we'll be uploading as they are edited. Here's the link to my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/edsaindon

Tony re-posted an older blog I wrote a couple of years ago about my experience sitting in with Bill Evans and with Milt. Reading it again reminded me that there are two more stories along this line worth telling.

Has anyone heard of Jeremy Kittel? He is a member of Turtle Island String Quartet. He's one of the best fiddle players I have ever heard. His other group (Jeremy Kittel Band) came to Columbia Friday for a concert. I was blown away. Below is a link of his arrangement of Hendrix's 'Hey Joe'. I will let the music do the rest of the talking for how incredible this guy is.

This video shows part of what keeps me from practicing my beloved melodic minor scales and tunes for the jazz-ensemble class as well as the tunes for the jams with my buddies outside of that and let alone logging onto this site for months. The mission of the job is to give 59x 45min interactive concerts for school kids presenting "percussion". Criteria for accepting this:
- I feel more valuable, if I work and I want to work.

I like this tune by Wayne Shorter, love the way he keeps it simple but at the same time keeps you on your toes, I have made some mistakes but I wanted to post anyway I have not done an outro so it breaks after 3 choruses, comments are welcome
What is the best software to use to fade out etc...?

David's music is on my laptop that I travel with, so whenever I travel, I check him out. I dig this cat. He really plays great and interesting. If you guys get a moment check him out and let me know what you think.
