I taught Dennis a little bit. He's an amazing musician. Perfect pitch, total recall. He's really got the whole package. I taught while he was at Curtis Institute of Music.
Listen to him play. Top notch.
Excerpt of vibraphone and improvisation clinic in Milan, May 16th, 2014. This segment addresses solo playing on Body and Soul along with voicings and harmonic practices including symmetrical diminished scale lines and voicings. Other segments from the clinic are up on YT and address the fulcrum grip and dampening techniques, voicing and reharmonization on Autumn Leaves, stride solo playing on Ain't Misbehavin' and solo playing utilizing dampening on Black Orpheus. All clips are posted on my YouTube page listed in the Clinics/Educational Clips section.
