An easy dampening tip.

Has anyone seen this movie? Is it a movie? Or is it some sort of strange Jazz video? Who has more information?

David Liebman is the man. I have heard lots of stories of him getting really dark with students, and who knows how true these claims are... but every time I have heard him speak on jazz or other topics he has been eloquent and polite. I found this "speech" of him talking on practicing. Nothing we haven't all heard before, but still a great reinforcement!

Check out some of the guys at our workshop in Holland! We are having a great time!

Most of the tunes I try to write end up in the waste basket but this one avoided that fate and ended up on a CD I made a couple of years ago. Slow and bluesy, the melody in the bridge is similar to a tune by David Frishberg called "Blizzard of Lies". I decided on the title, "Secrets and Lies" party because of the similarities to David's tune.

The pianist is my good buddy Laura Klein.
