Sam's Song by Joe Locke & Christos Rafalides

The first time I saw this Duo was at a marimba Festival. I had my mouth open the entire concert. I was just totally blown away by them!!
Since that day I hear and feel music in a totally different way. Joe and Christos are two amazing musicians that put their hearts in every note they play.
Check out their CD as a duo: "Van Gogh by Numbers". Incredible!!

Vince Guaraldi (Lesson Plan)

(This is a piece I wrote and have named it after the great composer Vince Guaraldi. The lead sheet is here, as well as an etude where you can work on different aspects of solo playing.)

This will be a multi part lesson. The actually lessons are listed right above here.

Part 1 is the arrangement with no chord symbols. You try and figure them out.
Part 2 I'll add the chord symbols.
Part 3 I'll play the piece and solo on it for you to hear.
Part 4 I'll write out a single line solo for you play and study
