EOTM - Thanks to Marcel Pascual

Marcel posted this exercise in a comment to barryk.

I thought I would turn it into the EOTM!

here's marcel's comment:
------------------------------------
I often look into exercises of rudimental or technical snare drum books to aply to the notes and caracteristics of vibraphone in different ways. This last days I took one to practice combination of simple and double strokes and I think that works very well to practice C major (or any mode with the same notes!).

Joe Locke & Ed Saindon performing the Beatle's Blackbird

Hello guys, here's another clip from the Berklee recital Joe and I played. This is a clip of us playing the Beatle's Blackbird. We played it with an AAB form. Joe came up with a lead sheet that includes some specific rhythmic chord hits. Joe's changes at the bridge include some subtle reharm variations. Check out Joe's solo. A beautiful example of a melodic solo that builds in intensity. Instead of playing over the form, we each played over a specific chord progression as shown on the lead sheet. Hope you enjoy it.
