Hello malleteers (credit to Gary for that term which I thing is perfect), here's a clip of All The Things You Are with a quartet. I'm doing doing some minor reharm on the head behind the melody played by Lance. Making some of the minor chords Dom which makes the melody a #9 and altering the major chords to Maj 7 #5.

David Liebman is the man. I have heard lots of stories of him getting really dark with students, and who knows how true these claims are... but every time I have heard him speak on jazz or other topics he has been eloquent and polite. I found this "speech" of him talking on practicing. Nothing we haven't all heard before, but still a great reinforcement!

Hey guys, here's an excerpt of Bluesette from a recent quartet gig. Ed

Hey guys, here's a clip of On The Sunny Side Of The Street from a recent gig with some nice players and friends. Lance Bryant on tenor, David Clark on bass and Jun Saito on drums. There are some loose spots here and there, but we had fun. No rehearsal, just call tunes on the gig type of thing. There are more clips that we'll be uploading as they are edited. Here's the link to my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/edsaindon

This video shows part of what keeps me from practicing my beloved melodic minor scales and tunes for the jazz-ensemble class as well as the tunes for the jams with my buddies outside of that and let alone logging onto this site for months. The mission of the job is to give 59x 45min interactive concerts for school kids presenting "percussion". Criteria for accepting this:
- I feel more valuable, if I work and I want to work.

I like this tune by Wayne Shorter, love the way he keeps it simple but at the same time keeps you on your toes, I have made some mistakes but I wanted to post anyway I have not done an outro so it breaks after 3 choruses, comments are welcome
What is the best software to use to fade out etc...?

Happy New Year to everyone!

I'm working this days in a solo (duo-trio) vibes. This is an attempt with bass play along in the blues Au Privave

Hey guys, Joe was mentioned a little while back. He was the drummer in the TV clip with Gary when they were playing with Stan Getz. Here's a photo of Joe that was taken on a gig with bassist Mark Carlsen and myself. The gig is at a nice Japanese restaurant on the outskirts of Boston. We have another night coming up tomorrow.

Joe is a special drummer. He really knows the history of jazz and all of the players. He can burn at a very soft dynamic level. He blows me away every time that we play.
