Good VIbes Radio Update April 2021

Time

Hi Everyone,
April is Jazz Appreciation Month. It's great to have a whole month, not just a day, but I know you and I appreciate jazz all year. In this month's show I share many of the ways listeners can show they care. If you know others I haven't mentioned, let me know. But first you have to listen to the show, right?

I'll Remember April - Carolyn's mini concert

Since I wasn't part of the livestream for the "I'll Remember April" pop-up class, I recorded my own mini concert. I primarily worked on two styles of this tune over these weeks, a ballad and a Latin-inspired version.

In this video I play both styles back to back (Latin starts around 3:48). There's lots more I'd like to work on (such as improving my bebop vocabulary for soloing), but overall I'm happy with the progress I made on this tune during this pop-up class series.

V6 - frame including twistable flaps

I think this is my last frame design. It now fulfills all my wishes and ideas. Besides the new, additional folding method, I am very happy that I managed to realize the twistable flaps in the frames without any restrictions on the folding versions.
It was a long development process until the twisting flaps also achieved good stability.

A corresponding flap version as a conversion kit for Musser M55 is in progress and close to completion.

Whisper Not

Here a little video made with a friend who is resuming contrabass playing after a 30 years break...
This is an important step for me because during my whole jazz life i always played with drummers. It's quite different to play without and i had to work somewhat hard to get tunes down in a reasonable way... One more time, thanks to WWWvibesworkshop.com for the all sorts of help during all thoses years...
Critics welcomed, enjoy if possible...

Donna Lee - Voicing with Dampening [Idea #1]

Hola!
Les comparto este voicing pensado por mi sobre la canción "Donna Lee" de Charlie Parker, donde también aprovecho la ocasión para aplicar diferentes técnicas de Dampening para resolver las tensiones (la mayoría).
Gracias por el espacio.

Saludos
Tomás

PD. Comparto el pdf, pero aclaro que no estan escritos los Dampenings.

Patience

This is a tune of mine call "Patience". I found this 2018 rehearsal video with Bill Bergmann(guitar) and Kam Markworth(Bass). I picked up a freelance Trio gig and hired these two to help me out.
