Wow!

Nadja just put on line this new video from JazzBaltica summer 2008.

Joe Locke and Sticks and String re-visiting Saturn's Child... with Rosario Giuliani as guest... Oh man!

I love the way that video was recorded, with close shots of Joe's grip (beginning) and of other musicians in there thoughtfull playings.

A huge solo from Rosario (3'48), who quite often plays with Joe, but whom we don't see enough on videos.

I also truly dug the vibes/guitar double voice speach, especially from 6'10... wow!

Oh... man...

Enjoy! :o)

Not Vibes Related but Music Related big time!

I love this video! I think Pat Methany is the Aaron Copeland of jazz.

Here are some etudes on the tune Cherokee.

Here's the Cherokee etude. It's sooo hard, I'm burnt out on it! I give up.

I wanted to play a bass line over a head. You can't do it over a solo really, but over a head I thought it was possible. I think it's a technique that can be interspersed in a tune or solo. I don't think anyone should strive to play a baseline through a whole tune.
