Great photo of a young Gary Burton. I love looking at photos like this and thinking where in history is this, since now his history is a timeline that's set. Get it?

This is the 'style' of playing you are into right?
I love it and don't play like this. A lot of notes as well but doesn't matter to me!!! I like listening to all the mallets and how they are intertwined. the rhythms between the hands etc.
This gets pretty busy. I bet David Friedman doesn't like it. (Do you?) I dig it! I don't think they are stepping on each other toes. I just think it's busy!
Check this out. Listen to Lem's solos. This is great stuff to transcribe if you are learning the language. Also as transcribing goes it's not too difficult.
Have you figured out what that means?
Head 1 chorus Head.
I do that a lot when i practice. just to make sure I play the head in and out. It feels a bit like a tune. This is not like doing a mini concert. It's the opposite, however at least you're still in the form of a tune. I really like doing it.
Who can figure out what H1CH mean?
I did a few of these. My chord melodies are sometimes 'thin'. I don't like adding a lot of stuff and I like playing in time mostly.
