Trying to follow the advices that Dave,Tony, Behn and Rusty gave me in my previous post . Do you know another place where you can be coached by masters like these cats ?!
I'don't. Probably cause there isn't. Lucky guys we are !
Soooo .... up tempo practicing: leave space, play mostly quarter notes, accentuation, "straighten" the eight notes, play a little bit more "laid back".
I feel more confortable after few hours practicing all that bunch ....
Here is a glimpse ....

Hi guys. Tried to "stay in the box" with tempo, harmony and melody. Tried to make it as clear as i could. Fore sure i have to weave more, it's still too fragmented. Have been working on that ....

@0:44. 8 bars of swinging in your face bop.

damn.

I was invited to Brazil last year to play a concert with some great musicians at the Conservatory of Tatui. Here is a sample of a wonderful Jobim tune entitled Fotografia. Beautiful simple melody and so cool to hear the lyrics in Portuguese!

Finally, a website celebrating the musical genius of Victor Feldman (1934-1987), multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire and one of England's greatest exports! You've heard him on countless film scores, records, he contributed greatly to Steely Dan's recorded work and so much more. We lost him a quarter of a century ago at the young age of 53.

One of the things I find most inspiring about this site is the generosity with which everybody shares their knowledge, experience, ideas, opinions, and passion for this instrument we all love so much. Beyond the pure joy of hearing and seeing great performances from the "Pro's" and non-professionals alike, there is a real opportunity here to learn. You would normally have to pay a fortune for the lessons that are available to the members and subscribers of Vibesworkshop.com

No vibes here. Powerful music by two greats!

Check out italian vibes player, Andrea Dulbecco. Wonderful player.
