Marmaduke - Let's Study Marmaduke By Charlie Parker

This is a cool tune. Let's learn it. You can really learn a lot from studying this tune.

So.... Listen to it.... Learn the head and learn the chords.

I made a few lessons up already. I play the melody (differently:wrong). I learned this tune years ago and it evolved into something else. You will hear it. It's subtle. I learned something from doing this lesson!

See if you can spot it when you hear my play it.

George Shearing Style Chords - Question for Oliver

I got inspired by Oliver's arrangement of "Days of Wine and Roses". The drummer in my band wants to play "Beautiful Friendship", so I thought I would try to arrange it in a Shearing style.

I understand the basic concept behind the Shearing sound, but I'm not sure if I've quite got it. In particular, I'm not sure what to do when the melody note doesn't fall within the chord-dim-chord-dim scale pattern. Chromatic notes in the melody are also difficult.

Bluesette Solo Performance

This is another entry in my ongoing effort to write, arrange, and play solo vibraphone. The Pop Up Classes focused on single tunes have been a great opportunity to develop my approach. I recorded this a week ago after the first class on "Bluesette". I think I can play it a little better now, but I haven't had a chance to record again.

Moose the Mooche Chord Melody

I'm always wondering how to play a busy bebop tune and add chords.

I also don't think we have to play a lot of chords with a busy melody as busy melodies usually have a lot of information in them.

So I tried here to simply add only notes for the function of making sure the harmony was clear. I personally like this sound a lot.

Try to play it and see what you think.
