"Bud Powell" by Chick Corea - revisiting and working on this tricky composition by Chick.
Walt Dickerson's daughter, Liz, is a friend of mine. When we first met, we were talking about him and I wrongly assumed that the tune Elizabeth was written for her; it was not... he wrote it for his wife (Liz's mother). Liz also told me that day that her favorite recording of all the ones her dad did was not Elizabeth, but rather one called Bacon and Eggs.
I'm about to upload a solo vibraphone version of Tones for Joan's Bones in preparation for Tony's online concert Friday on Facebook, but here's one with my quartet from a bit ago. The vibraphone solo is at 3:10 (because after all this is a vibraphone website). I like playing without other chordal instruments, but there's definitely something very freeing about having a pianist.
