I don't remember how I got it, but man I love this tune! Stefon Harris' contribution there is deep and beautiful!

Sorry this Youtube link is not of deserved quality. Some of you might have access to this good link: http://www.deezer.com/fr/#music/result/all/in%20the%20winelight%20kurt%…

You can also listen to samples of the whole album there: http://www.amazon.com/Man-Air-Kurt-Elling/dp/B00009V8VG

Enjoy!

Here is a link to a youtube video of a Hal Galper master class about inner hearing.

So let's start office hours. If anyone wants to hang via skype we can try it on Monday, May 16, 2011. (GMT - 4:00) (Is that

Office hours are for subscribers.

So I have 2 slots, 12pm and 1pm. We can spend up to 30 to 40 minutes working on something you have questions with. Make sure you have Skype figured out and your audio and video working.

Office hours are not lessons, you must come prepared with questions pertaining to stuff you're working on. Usually just one or two things we can talk about.

I moved this from a forum posting to a blog...

I am wondering if my glasses are messing with my site reading improvement quest. Looking at the music, and then looking down without moving my head, I notice the frame of my glasses cuts right in the middle of the naturals. I assume there there are other folks who can play with bi-focals or have dealt with this issue. My questions are:
1) Should I get larger frames
2) Shell out the $$ for some vibe only lenses
3) Deal with what I have, perhaps my brain can adjust.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I've been playing Little B's Poem every day and working on a solo out of the Omnibook, using it as a sort of etude. Starting to take it through all the keys.

What are you working on? (Always curious)

Live from the Red Sea Jazz Festival

This is Christian Tamburr, a GREAT two mallet vibist, at a gig in Florida. Not an unobstructed angle, but a good view of how he works the pedal.

The other instruments were organ, guitar and drums.

I've been practicing Little B's Poem today. I'm reminded on how important it is to work on solo versions of the tune. EVEN if you never get completely to the end, where it's a real solo tune you can play. BUT you get close.

I've realized today that when melodies have roots or 3rds in them that we have to come up with creative voicings., especially with dominant chords. So I've learned a lot today.

I was playing along with the cd and checking out the melody. Then I started to work on it as a solo tune and all this great stuff started happening for me.

Hi,

I thought I could pass this on .

Best,
