Here's a version of Lush Life from a while back. I was working on 2 things here. You'll here the octaves as soon as the main melody starts and you'll hear me going into the stride stuff after a while.
I always try and play some tunes as if…
Hi All,
I'm happy to tell you all that I will be playing Dana's and Marie-Noelle's "Soulflakes" in my December show. Dana has also given me permission to play his "Christmas Time Is Here."
I'll post more about the show in a few weeks.
Here's a very important exercise to help with chord voicings. Don't skimp on this one. Spend months on this!!

開離密集和弦練習(open and closed voicing)

in my lesson we talked about approaching practicing for a little, and tony reminded me of a bill evans quote.
"It's better to practice one tune for 24 hours than it is to practice 24 tunes in an hour."
I'm guessing he didn't mean…
Here N°6. The tempo is slow in relation at what is indicated on the book, but no way to play faster. Since the N° 7 is with the same melody, I hope speed will increase with time. Reducing to MP3 format make loose some of the nuances.

I thought I would counter his post with this one!
I CAN say that watching Ted's video and this…
Twenty or so folks, mostly ladies in wheelchairs, at the rest and rehab hospital last night for a sing-a-long with Jocey's soprano voice leading and me on MalletKat synthing vibes. We did a dozen songs in an hour. I played each melody…
Dream about them, think about them. Imagine them. Let's get ready to study them for a couple months. Chords, harmony, voicings, colors, shadings. Let's strip them down and build them up. Let's really work hard on chords and harmony and see…
I've been recording a bunch of tunes the last couple months. And I've let them sit for all this time. Now I'm going back to them and it's a great experience to do this.
I'm see myself play one tune over and over and work through problems…
I mentioned about pausing the TOTM and do a huge chord and harmony study. 2011 Vibesworkshop Chord and Harmony Festival!
I'm digging that more and more. Here's the thing. If we all work together we could create a HUGE compilation of all…
By now I'm sure everyone has heard about the passing of Steve Jobs at the age of 56. A few thoughts: I don't have an iPad. I don't even have a MaxiPad. I'm a confirmed PC user, I don't have an iPod, an iPhone or an iChing. However, that…
I buy a lot of music off of Amazon. You know they give every use storage space. I think it's 2 free gigs and then 20 for 20 bucks a year. Something like that.
I just liked at my account and I have unlimited storage for music! So I'm now…
Here is a cool little story:
- NicoFar sent me a practice tape of him working on that tune,
- As usual I didn't really know the tune, so I started to discover it,
- We both chatted about the different versions,
- After a few ones, he sent…

I was thinking about a lot of the blues lessons we've been putting up lately. And this thought popped in my head.
We don't always focus directly on technique, but anything well played is an etude, a chop builder and an all around…
