OK, vibe hang! Who's playing? Next Saturday!!! 1pm.

I think we'll do the hang over at Mario's streaming site. Check back here, I'll have a link up.

The Chief is a really nice tune Pat Metheny wrote and recorded on a CD called Reunion, with Gary Burton. I made this video clip for one of Tony's Vibe Hangs, and decided to post it here too.

I've included links to the Lead Sheet and an mp3 of the Piano Accompaniment to use to practice the tune.

Cheers!

Giving it away to the first subscriber who posts a chord melody version of the tune, 'What's New'.

The first one who posts it here, gets the Aebersold book title 'What's New'.

Here's a link to the book:

Thanks to toddc for donating a bunch of Aebersold books to give away.

My buddy Jim Miller Lived out in the Midwest. His gig (years ago) was to set up in a club, wait for someone to put money in the juke box and then play drums along with the record that was playing. That freaked me out.

So check out this video of this cat playing along with tracks, rap and pop with ?marching drums????? Seems really strange and not something I'd ever want to do.

Could you guys do a gig like this?

You know I feel like you guys are an extension of my brain. I know some of you get that and that you would agree with me about your own brain. All this discussion and opinions about stuff stays with me! I've learned so much about duo playing from just hanging out with you guys and talking here.

My project with Diane Monroe is fueled by this site and all of you! We are working hard to get a duo group together and to work out the kinks. There are so many things that become apparent when you are baseless and drumless!

Here is another great lesson by Hal Galper on Vocabulary!

MikeK added a link to this lesson. But it is really great so I thought I'd add it as an embedded video!
