Check out Christos Rafalides solo on Harmony Ensemble of NY performing Henry's Mancini's "Soft Sound" from "Peter Gunn"! It's very hard to say anything in just one minute of solo!!!!
thanks

This is one of Joe Henderson's most popular tunes. During the first 8 bars try keeping the pedal down to sustain the long A- and C- chords. Use mallet dampening to keep the busy melody part as clean and distinct as possible.

I love this song!
Chi Chi is by Charlie Parker.
Any big band directors out there? We want to play with your band!
Aloha, This February I had the opportunity to play in Honolulu, HI. While i was there i was exposed to the great vibist Arthur Lyman. We also were very fortunate to meet and talk to his drummer Harold Chang, whom was his drummer for 30 years. " Yellowbird" is one of the songs that Arthur would play solo and with his Quartet ... very fun tune to play and the Second Chord is distinctively Hawaiian..
While we were there I worked with an amazing middle school percussion ensemble from " Nui Valley Middle School" directed by Zachary Morita .. this kids blew me away ...

屬七和弦升九音的和聲配置：
以F7#9為例，演奏3, 5, b7, #9，分別是A, C, Eb, G#（Ab）
你也可以看成是Ab大三和弦加上A為低音。
要熟記這個和聲配置，就是要轉到12個調裡。
並且切記，如果真的要熟悉而且會演奏時反應很快的就能夠應用上，一定要放到ii-V-i裡面練習。

今天要講的是小調和弦（minor chord）的和弦配置（voicing）。
以A minor 和絃為例，這個和聲配置是3, 7, 9, 11音組成。也就是C, E, B, D。
轉到不同調試試看。
練習一個新的和聲配置時，最好要放到ii-V-i的和絃進行裡面練習，效果最好。
也可以移動這個最高音的音，也會產生一個很漂亮的聲音線條。
