Recorded at the Vic Firth Headquarters on 12/8/17 for a FB Live Stream Masterclass and Performance.
This was videotaped last week at the Vic Firth headquarters. We had a little time before we went live for the Facebook Live Stream so I ran through two of my favorite Xmas songs from the Charlie Brown Christmas recording by the great Vince Guaraldi Trio. Merry Christmas to everyone and Best Wishes for 2018!
A session in Palermo, Sicily from 1980 with Ray Brown, Monty Alexander and Grady Tate. Milt at his prime digs into a an old time classic - Poor Butterfly - with his usual brilliance. There are a few quotes from various other tunes throughout; how many can you identify?
Essential Lines and Patterns for Soloing
One of the classic Christmas songs composed in 1945 by Mel Torme with lyrics by Bob Wells. Happy Holidays!
This is my etude I recorded for a final exam with Tony this semester. Hope you enjoy!
