"Everything Happens To Me" - a beautiful song written by Tom Adair (lyrics) and Matt Dennis (music). At Berklee this morning squeezing in a little practice time before heading to some presentations for the 5 Week Program. Playing one of the school's Yamaha vibraphone. I like how my Vic Firth mallets (M39) sound on it.

"Poinciana" - In the home music studio today playing the classic song from 1936. Two of my favorite versions are from great pianists Ahmad Jamal and Keith Jarrett.

Here's a play along I made for a student.

We are working on moving 2 5's through the keys. So the Progression is:

C | C | Gmin7 | C7 | Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 | Cmin7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 etc. get it?

i wrote out voicings and i played a solo where I just play the chord tones to make the solo.

So check it out.

I don't put the chords in, you have to write them him. the are chords WITH roots, so you should be able to figure them out.

找適當的音階對應和弦 Putting the Scales in the Chords

你可以用這個方式想想：和弦音、和弦音以外的音，這兩種因素組成了音階。
＊以下譜例：和弦音（圖一）、和弦音以外的音（圖二）、把這兩個放在一起得到Dorian音階。

"Sophisticated Lady" by the great Duke Ellington. I've been working on this song this past week. Such a deep and beautiful composition. Some of my favorite versions are from Duke of course as well as from great pianists like Art Tatum, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea.

This is my first real post to this site. It's just an audio from one of the first rehearsals of a song I wrote - "Cheyenne's Waltz!"
