Chega de Saudade (No More Blues) by Gary Burton (early vid)

Hello everyone.
I guess the words "Chega de saudade" and Gary Burton associated together remind you all a special feeling...
Well how to describe it ?
to me : historical

But unseen...only my imagination to put the Burton image on this amazing solo.

I know Tony said the end of the year make some of us feel down,
but it is Christmas time !
Let the hope be with us, and the partage and...voilà !

Summertime by Joe Locke & Goeffrey Keezer (check out Joe's solo!)

This is pretty cool! Check out Joe's solo. I was just looking around and this floored me. The thing I also dig is their re-interpretation of the tune. I hear a lot of reinterpretations these days and a lot are so far removed from the original that I personally get a little turned off. It's obvious that Keeser knows the path back to Summertime (IMHO).

Techniques for Mastering Solo Playing Lesson Plan

This is a series of ideas, ways and techniques for you to consider when playing solo.

This is really open to other faculty and other pro players on the site. I'd love to get something from some of these other amazing players and put together a comprehensive series on solo playing!!!

Under ALL LESSONS are some examples of people playing solo. (If I've missed anything please let me know).

Then there are lessons specific to each players level.

What instruments does this pertain to?
