With Bloque 53 playing Strangers in Paradise near Barcelona, last friday.

Hello guys, here's another clip from the Berklee recital Joe and I played. This is a clip of us playing the Beatle's Blackbird. We played it with an AAB form. Joe came up with a lead sheet that includes some specific rhythmic chord hits. Joe's changes at the bridge include some subtle reharm variations. Check out Joe's solo. A beautiful example of a melodic solo that builds in intensity. Instead of playing over the form, we each played over a specific chord progression as shown on the lead sheet. Hope you enjoy it.

El Dia Que Me Quieras (C.Gardel) Patrice Guillon

A clip of Joe and I playing the standard (1931) Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams. A fun tune to play stride and 4 beats to bar time feel as in Freddie Green w/Basie, Dave McKenna, Errol Garner, George Shearing, etc. These changes are what McKenna plays. Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans play something a bit different on the A section. Here's a copy of the lead sheet: http://www.scribd.com/doc/63417220/Wrap-Your-Troubles-in-Dreams-Lead-Sh…

Hello guys, Tony graciously posted Joe and I playing Stella By Starlight (which was the last tune of the concert). If anyone is interested in checking out more of the concert, all of the clips are now up on my YouTube channel. Gustavo shot and edited the video footage. He numbered each track and left in the talking so that the concert can be viewed as we played it.

My rendition of a Nepali folk tune that was taught to me by my friend Manose. The quartet is Justin Sekelewski (bass), Dan Hanrahan (guitar) and Gabe Globus-Hoenich (drums).

Young musicians beginning their career at this level...
