It's a fly by your seat mess!! But the vibe is right!!
This is a tune of mine called "Impulse". This is the first and only take.
It wasn't planned and there was no chart. We just talked about the chords and form. Humbled by the people who can turn an idea into sometime in the very moment it happens.
Thank you Bates Bros!!!

This is great.

You guys are doing great. It's what I wanted. It's really fun to work with people who do the work. It's gratifying and I teach but I can also learn from you guys.

I will do more of these!!!!

I’ll Remember April in Bb using my Mallet Kat and Boss RC-3 loop pedal as accompaniment.

A few months ago, I bought Lionel Hampton's autobiography. As I am slowly, but surely, making my way through it, I have learned a great deal from the master. I want to share some of that with you all.

I look back on my history with this instrument and I realized that I always threw Hamp to the wayside. I loved Gay Burton and Milt Jackson, but never gave him much consideration. I have now realized how grave a mistake that was.

A moment underneath my deck in Minnesota this past fall.
We're playing a tune of mine called "Cluster Cuss". I'm joined by the
amazing Bates brothers.
