Here's another tune I wrote a couple of years ago. This one was inspired by watching the movie Casino Royale (the 1960's version). Hence the title and the feel of the tune.

This is a tune I wrote and recorded a couple of years ago. I was thinking about it this morning and decided to post it. Listening to it now, there are of course things I would play differently but oh well. Thanks for listening!

I go to a high school where during each of your three underclassman years you do a one week internship in whatever you want. Anyone have any good vibe related ideas/leads? Anything in performance or craftsmanship would be really cool. I live in Columbus, Ohio and although I can leave the state, keep in mind that I must find some sort of lodging.

Thanks for any help,
Jimmie

A really nice solo performance by Ted.

Ok in the spirit of sharing and being an open community I thought I would share with you guys a new song I'm writing for my new album that I'll be recording in February. The song is not finished by any means but you can hear this early version and go through it with me as I attempt to form it into its final product. Theres a bunch of mistakes and some awkward transitions, but thats all part of developing the piece.

ok, so i just read where Tony says "i still don't understand why more players are not blogging here, posting examples of things they're working on. i'm clueless." so...I'm not shy, here's what i'm working on.
about a month ago, i thought i would transcribe the Tom Harrel solo on "i remember you", but first i needed to learn it. I learned it in one key, and then discovered it is in another on the video (a flat).

I talk more about using modes and create 'sub chords' from them.

I also go off on Solar at the end to show you places that I get with this way of playing.

I love moving the scale around and deriving chords from the scale not just the chord. Make sense?

Hi all,

Some of you will remember Arturo Serra, our Spanish member who attended last year's Sassenheim's workshop. He posted some time ago a link of his new CD with his quartet: "Loud-Zee".

Well I have the CD, and I can tell you that these guys are doing a great great job! I got caught from the first note to the last! Those who heard Joe Locke's Sticks and Strings album will recognize the band type (vib/guit/db/dr), but also the characteristic Kreisberg’s guitar sound. So what? This is really cool, and Arturo has his own sound, voice, style.

Hi all

Since my favourite musical companion a flutist is on maternity leave for another year now I started to check out other hobbyist people to make music with. So far I haven’t been very successful. One guitar player I met who was quite on an equal level to me and was a quite nice person. However suddenly he was no more reachable for me without any further notice. Another guitar player who was a nice person as well turned out to be a low level beginner (although he had tons of equipment) – he also quickly disappeared.

Hey VW's if you like these, let me know and I will do more like this.
