I was listening to some older Milt tracks and came across a version of Bags' Groove with one of my favorite solos, which I remember I had transcribed when I was about 18 years old. Fortunately, I still have this book of transcriptions so I wanted to share it.

The album is called "Wizard of the Vibes" (2001 Rudy van Gelder remaster). But this track has appeared on other releases. It is one of the classic versions of Bags' Groove. I suggest you seek out the recording, because the notes are only one aspect of this - the FEEL is what it is all about.

Hi guys,

Today I'd like to talk about a good Friend of mine that, besides being a great percussionist and human being, he's an artist of creating hand made mallets.
I've met Alessandro Pellegrino during the Italy Pas 2 years ago and I got the chance to try out some of his mallets.

I was really surprise about the worm sound a great round attack and, of course, the rattan he chose because it was exactly what i was looking for getting the right mood in my playing.

A great musical moment from the Oirquartett winter concert...
The arrangement is written by Giulio Scaramella one of the best pianist i've had the opportunity to play with!

Giovanni Perin: Vibes
Giulio scaramella: Piano
Marco Trabucco: El Bass
Max Trabucco: Drums

Hey guys, at home today playing the classic standard "Stars Fell On Alabama" with a "four to the bar" groove. I enjoy playing in this style and this is a great tune for that type of groove. I know Tony has posted some great lessons on this topic. It might be helpful to view those lessons and apply what he's talking about to this tune. Feel free to post any questions if you get a chance to try this style out. There are quite a few important and subtle things that help to make it work.
