Hey Everybody,
April's show is ready for JAM (Jazz Appreciation Month). But isn't that every month?
I think I'll start backwards this month. I end the show with David Friedman and Chet Baker

It's from back in the day! I actually have someone helping me find bad pages missing files and then I'm trying to fix them. Here's the etude.

Someone should try and play it and post it. It's not easy.

At home today on a semester break working on this classic standard composed by Victor Young in 1931. Such a hip tune for that time period.

Available Soon

Having fun today in the basement of the percussion department at Berklee between classes playing a blues in C. Some of the vibe students and I have been working on this style of left hand accompaniment. It's fun and a challenge trying to keep the left hand going while focusing on the right hand improv using syncopation. It's a pleasure to be able to teach and interact with all of the very talented players here. For me, it's energizing.
