Only Trust Your Heart by Benny Carter - Clarinet/Bass/Vibes

ed saindon 1 June 2015

Nice song by Benny Carter. It starts on the four chord as in "Just Friends". I think it's fun and helpful to think about all of the tunes that start on various chords like the IV chord. Another example would be to call tunes that start on the II7 like "But Not For Me" or "Our Love is Here to Stay". Might make for a fun post. Ed

The Days of Wine and Roses - vibes/bass duo from local gig

ed saindon 24 May 2015

Clip of Mark and I playing Henry Mancini's great song "The Days of Wine and Roses". Taking after Bill Evans' great version, we play the first half of the tune in F and then modulate to Ab for the 2nd half. I like doing this. It feels like it gives a lift to the tune. Bill does this also with Like Someone in Love. He was a master of playing standards in unusual keys and various modulations.

I love Mark's comment at the end of the clip. Other clips from the gig are up on YT and include All The Things You Are, Darn That Dream, Body and Soul, Topsy and Wave.

Vibes etude: Rebuilt (Giovanni Perin)

Hi guys this tune that i wrote is about pedaling and dampening technique melodies and of course interaction of both hands.
Remeber to play the accompaniment softer than the melody
