Improvising on Green Dolphin Street using the improv concept of Four Note Groupings which is a chapter in the just released The Complete Guide To Improvisation - Volume Two. The technique uses triads with a passing note as a means of generating lines. For major triads we can use 1,2,3 and 5. For minor triads we can use 1,2,b3 and 5 or 1,b3,4 and 5. In the clip, I'm playing the last 8 bars of the tune to set up the tune. The first chorus is a written out solo based on the Four Note Grouping concept.

Hey Vibesworkshoppers!

Just put up a clip from a really fun trio gig I did here in NYC a few weeks back. I love playing vibes trio w just bass and drums and it was a treat to play with a really top rhythm section of Clarence Penn and Joe Martin.
Thanks for listening!

A little shedding before classes at Berklee this morning. Solo vibraphone playing on the Gershwin classic "Embraceable You".

This for my student, but it's for all. it's a VERY QUICK and dirty chord version of Fly Me To The Moon. Done in about 15 minutes. Good enough for what Frank needs, but you're welcome to check it out.
