So, tomorrow AM I will be talking about recording the vibes at the workshop in Delaware. Here are some links to some good tech specs for some of the mics we will be using in the workshop. There are also some good links to sites about mic patterns and recording.

July 30th, 2015
The open house starts at 2pm East Coast New York Time, UTC -4
The vibe hang starts at 4:30pm East Coast New York Time, UTC -4

So this Thursday July 30th, 2015 is an open house and a great vibe hang at the University of Delaware.

You can watch the vibe hang from anywhere, the open house you will have to attend in person. The open house is at this location: http://bit.ly/amydupont. It starts at 2pm. Check out a masterclass with Warren Wolf and then stay for the vibe hang.

If you don't come to the open house you can watch the vibe hang online.

Hey Everybody,

Easy commute into town yesterday morning for an early class at 9. Warming up on the classic composition "Nardis".

Clip of Chega De Saudade (by Antonio Carlos Jobim) from a local gig here in Haverhill, MA.

I had previously posted on this topic via a clip that demonstrated the concept on piano. I'm using the same Pentatonic scales in this clip from Saturday night's gig with Mark.

To view and download the Pentatonics being used for the improvisation, click on the link included in the clip's description. More clips from this night are up on my YT channel listed under Duo with Mark Carlsen. Other songs include: How Deep is the Ocean, Jitterbug Waltz, Topsy, Like Someone in Love, Triste, Ain't Misbehavin', Peace, There Will Never Be Another You, Chega De Saudade, How Insensitive.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer.

I just wanted to let you know that my duo CD with guitarist Brad Shepik has been released and is available in digital and/or Compact Disc formats over at our website http://www.beckhamshepik.com. You can also purchase from CD Baby as well.

The new album is called "Flower Starter" and here is a link to a short intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBa-r1lw9U4

Hope you enjoy it!
