This is from our 2011 vanderPlas Baileo workshop.

Phillipe Mace gave a great workshop on Improvising over bach. That is learning Bach and analyzing the harmony and then improvising on the chords in that style. It was great and really informative.

He had students come up and play a bit of the piece and then improvise on it. It was great to try and improvise with a different language and there is a ton to learn from this and to then take to jazz.

We were working on singing solos and all of a sudden this came out!

This is a great group this year at vanderPlas Baileo.

I get to play with David Friedman

I'll broadcast live from the workshp from time tot time this week.

We have a great group of players this year. Also we're having great talks and doing some great playing!
