Hi everybody, While many of you were busy working on the blues, I went back to Fried Bananas. I was so disgusted with the first track I posted when it was TOTM, that I felt I needed to apply myself a bit more. For the past 4 weeks, I studied Dexter's solo like a madman. I didn't "transcribe" and write it down, I just played short passages that I liked, over and over, like exercises of sorts. I posted a take a week ago,and then I quickly deleted it because I thought it sounded pretty horrible. Is this one any better ? I really don't know.

Hello everybody!
i have a friend who just bought a new M55, and wants to sell his lovely old Premier (uniform bars). We are in argentina, so it's going to be difficult. Also, he's asking $3800 dollars, but i think it's too much. Does anyone of you know how much this baby would actually cost? Also it's going to be hard to find someone who's interested in it here in argentina, so it will probably end up in the US or somewhere else. Anyway, here are the pics he sent me:

Here is a study of the minor blues. Refer to the attached pdf during the audio segment.

BTW, i know it's not a CD, didn't know where else to post it!

So with all the styles of blues there's one more I can think of. That's a blues with a bridge. Many times these are sort of AABA blues'. For instance it would be 2 choruses of a blues and then a bridge and then one more chorus of the blues. Listen to this exampleof the tune 'Unit 7'. Can you follow it.

Here is a version of Charlie Parker's 'Confirmation'. So it's a bird blues with a bridge. AABA. See what happens, 2 forms are combined to make a new form.

Take the Coltrane

Joe Doubleday- Vibraphone
Tamir Shmerling- Bass
Adam Arruda- Drums

This concert was taped in early August. The video seems a little fuzzy, but the audio is pretty clear. The tune is a lot of fun to play, and seems to be a lesser known one of Kenny Baron. We discovered it in a collection of his music we found in the public library!

Comping for piano can be tricky since the pianist is already comping with their left hand. I try to stay out of the way and just punctuate with some voicings and single line stuff.
