"One Note Samba" by Antonio Carlos Jobim - Sunday morning session playing Jobim songs. I'm a big fan of the great Brazilian composer.

We've been doing mini concerts on Facebook.
Here is mine from April 18th, 2002
This is a local duo from several years back based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I think what I like the most about this particular performance is that they really tap into the eccentricity of playing a Monk tune. Although both of them play well, I have to give high props to Charlie on piano who really makes it work with his accompaniment. King (nicknamed Bowl around here) pulls together what Milt would play with a nice dash of Hutcherson thrown in.
Not very good video quality although the sound is acceptable. The performance is more than acceptable.
An old favorite on mine, Keith Jarrett's "Memories of Tomorrow".
julius and i keep sending each other audio files and the other should put something around it. this is the latest thing he send me.

Learned this solo completely by ear. Took me weeks. That was a tough one, but so much fun, being in the process.
first video explaining a basic path toward solo playing
This is a really first-rate section of a Manu Dibango concert where Manu introduces alto saxophonist Moreira Chonguica beginning at 30 minutes into the concert. Manu (from Camaroon) was one of the first internationally-known musicians to die of coronavirus, and in this video he is 84 years of age. Although primarily a saxophonist and singer, he has effectively used marimba as part of his Afro-beat sound. In this video he plays vibes, but what I really like is how he uses it to blend with the ensemble.
