I'll Try This Again! Bud Powell (w/audio this time!)
My first post of this was unsuccessful... hopefully this time it's all good!

Stella by Starlight is one of those gems that never gets old, at least for me. The changes are so interesting to play over, even after playing the tunes on probably hundreds of gigs! Here is a slightly different take on it, as played by my West Coast quartet fairly recently... (I live in NYC now).
Thanks for checking it out, feedback always welcome.
Tony asked me to practice lines on a tune in order to practice playing like a horn player.
thanks
This short solo piece was written by Renick Ross and arranged for vibes by Dave Samuels. It's not especially difficult to play and really sounds good. A pdf of the arrangement is included.
Very late, I know, and with a damper pad which doesn't work properly, but there it is.
Cheers. Ton Risco
Hey guys, I just recorded this at home. I was inspired by David's brilliant version that he recorded on the Omega by Malletech. I thought it sounded gorgeous. I'm playing it here in Bb. I like how the melody plays out in that key. I wrote out a lead sheet with some possible harmonic variations that I was experimenting with in this version. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded from googledocs. The link is on the YT clip's description. Also, please check out the classic versions from Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett if you haven't already done so. Ed
Some people have asked me about beginner classes at the Delaware vibesworkshop workshop. We will have beginner classes each day.
And we'll have advanced classes as well.
