Here's another amazing video from Gary Burton. He talks about solo playing using his infamous tune Chega De Saudade!

This is a really great lesson! --Tony Miceli

Gary sent me this lesson to post on the site. It's a great lesson on solo playing. (I think part 2 is on the way)
I think it's really incredible that he is taking the time to do this for us! - Tony Miceli

While trying to think up new lessons to post on the site I many times think of something and think, 'Oh man I already did that!'. However many of these lessons are buried. So I thought this would be 'FAVORITE LESSON WEEKEND'. Dig up an old lesson and tell us why it was helpful to you. That is if you have a moment!

So find a lesson that really helped you, put a comment on the lesson and explain why and how it helped you. Then we can all see. Also I can see what people dug and where to go with the lessons!

When I was a young kid I used to listen to Buddy Riches LPs awake and asleep so I could capture everything he does and the other players too. I could literally sing every solo on my favorite albums.

Even today I will often put a song or songs on loop on my iPhone and sleep with earbuds or just let it play next to me all night long.

In spite of not intentionally listening, it is my belief this helps subconsciously internalize the music.

Next Sunday, October 3rd, I am performing at the famous Lambert Castle, in Paterson,N.J., with a violinist. We have never played this combination before and this video will show us practicing together for the very first time.

This melody, Cinema Paradiso Theme" was composed by the popular, Morricone ( who wrote the music for the "Godfather Film), and, Daniella wants it played with an "ad-lib" temperament, as you will hear.

The Coro d'Italia Heritage foundation from New York celebrates it's 78th year of exxistence and the two of us will be playing from the second balcony tier.
