this is a cd I did with Jimmy Bruno a while ago.
It's up here for 7 days from the date of this post.
Like most people, I imagine, I have been working a lot on my solo vibraphone playing. I also finally got some decent recording equipment. This is my first attempt to test it out and hone my arrangements of these two great tunes. Feedback on both my playing and audio appreciated.
Here is my run through on Chi Chi. I could probably keep practicing this for the rest of my life, but thought I'd give a progress report and keep moving.
Other things I'm working on with Tony:

Hey everyone,
Here's the last part in my series on diminished chords and thinking of them as dominant chords instead. This isn't meant to be the singular approach when soloing over them, but to be used in tandem with blues sounds, the diminished scale, the diminished 7 arpeggio, etc.
Hey everyone,
Part 3 in the series on how to solo over diminished chords melodically. The diminished IV chord (Bbo7 in the key of F) comes up a decent bit in standards -- like "The Nearness of You" and "I Remember You," among others -- and it's important to be able to meaningfully solo over! Full disclosure, I'll often treat it as an A7b9 chord, or a C7b9 chord! But watch the video if you'd like to know why.
Also, make sure to watch parts 1 and 2 if you haven't already, as there might be some some things in this video that won't make sense if not.
Just some ideas to get some of you going with pentatonics.
