Life has gotten in the way of my music interests but I still try to get to my music room a couple of times a week.
Well, apparently I led a good life because the only explanation for the performance I've just seen is that I've died and gone to heaven :-). I'm just back from seeing Ed Saindon and Joe Locke perform in duo, and I'm blown away. Going with two vibraphones instead of vibes and marimba, they both got to play to their full and considerable expressiveness.
It was great to finally meet Joe in real life, and to catch up with Ed and his wife Pam. I'm really glad I could make it to the performance.

I've fallen in love with the tune Recordame by Joe Henderson. I can play the chords and melody for the tune nicely and can improv it acceptably too. I've transcribed the melody for the intro section off the CD and I've gottem most of the chords but there are a few that escape me.
Can anyone give me the chords for the intro section of this tune? I'd surely appreciate it.

Watch John set up and pack up his vibes. From a pros perspective this is a great thing! 3 minutes each way!
A quick and dirty video lesson. I shot this while in Ireland. The sound is not great and it's EARLY in the morning, I'm tired as you can see!
Here's a vibes/bass duo version of It Could Happen To You. This was the opening of my recent clinic presentation for the Summer Performance Program faculty at Berklee in Boston.
Here's a short clip of a recent clinic presentation at Berklee for the Summer Performance Program faculty. The presentation was on improv concepts and covered Tension Resolution, Four Note Groupings and Major 7 #5 Superimposition. I discussed the concepts and then played some written out solos that utilized the concepts. It might be helpful to follow the written out solos as I'm playing them on the piano.
Writing out solos based upon a specific improv concept can he helpful in assimilating the concept in one's playing. I have my students do that and it can be very effective.
