Well, I will have to give some sort of short workshop at the WVC (World Vibes Congress) this year. I was going to take notes and keep a diary on my computer and thought I would do it here. So I'll blog here and you guys can give me your two cents.
On Saturday we will link to all the videos for the second portion of the Day of Percussion on this page. Some players are playing live from 12-2. Others are submitting video which i will link to here.

Questions? Thoughts? What did you think? Let's talk about his book, here.
I have some things to say but I'll wait. How about some of you start. Gary will check in to answer questions and comment (I'm pretty sure).
🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 5
So far in this series, we’ve focused on building a strong comping foundation:
• Guide tones in the left hand
• Smooth voicing movement
• Consistent time and rhythm
This week, we shift the focus toward line development.
👉 Using 3rds and 7ths, we begin outlining the blues with single-note lines, helping you connect harmony in a clear and musical way.
I know this is up here somewhere, but I saw it again and thought I'd repost it. Wait for Red Norvo.
🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 4
Up to this point, we’ve stayed in F and focused on building a strong foundation:
• Clear guide tone movement
• Controlled upper voice motion
• Consistent Charleston rhythm
This week, we take a big step forward.
👉 We move to the key of Bâ™, one of the most common blues keys.
Richard hangs out at the Coffee Hang we do each month. He sent me this to post. A good reminder for us!
Hello,
I'v decided to work on my blues...so here's my version of Tony's blues super pack transcription. It's a bit slower than the original tune so that I'm able to play it until the end.
Please let me know what you think !
Now i've to play it in other keys.
