A flute and vibes duet

Hi guys!
Recently, I have been working on how to manage the space in sound playing ballads.
playing in duo with a bass player is a great exercise for that.
we recorded an old tune :"The folks how live on the hill" sings usually by Peggy Lee.
Hope you will enjoy.

This tune is a tribute to Sara Vaughn. I've always loved it, but as far as I can tell it never really made it into the popular fake books. A friend of mine transcribed it back in the the late 1970s. I recorded this version for piano and marimba a few years ago.

The form is kinda long and a lot of fun to improvise on. It's usually done in even 8ths. I checked Youtube and found several covers by a variety of great jazz players. There are also lyrics for the melody, although I don't know who wrote them.

A lead sheet is included.

Serenata is a very old standard, written in the 1920s I believe by Leroy Anderson (I think). You don't hear it too much but I've always liked the melody, and the changes are fun to play on.

Hello to everyone:

Check it out this video where I accompanied one of my students during a lecture to promote in Spain the “IV Workshop de Improvisación e Vibráfono” and the “European Vibraphone-Festival & Workshop 2016". When one my students (called Sergio, 14 years old) watched the duet of David Frideman and Tony Miceli playing "Samba de Orfeo" and he did not stop to ask me if he could prepare, so, this is part of the performance recorded by the audience.

I've created a couple of playlists of Ed Saindon videos and thought that others might enjoy them.

One is for the seven videos from Ed's concert with Joe Locke -- http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=6F904A946451667D.

The other is for the 23 videos of Ed and Billy Novick playing together -- http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL967A2EE5564E0C65.

This a free improvisation at the Paris Conservatory during a workshop by David Friedman and Peter Weniger on the art of duo playing. It was filmed on an Iphone by Patrick Moutal, professor of Indian music.
