Here is a take from tonight's practice session. I am using the changes from the Real Book, with descending bass line. The intro is an idea take from John Piper's under water echo technique that he did in Dolphin Dance. Left hand comp contains 4ths and tri-tones. In the second chorus I tried doing a Freddy Green 4 strokes to the bar comping with LH.

This is my first assignment from Tony, let me know what you think!

A little break from the TOTM, but I started talking about this in the intros video for How Deep Is The Ocean.

I think this is an important subject that some of you may find helpful!

Point 2 is a newly formed, innovative duo by vibraphonist Christos Rafalides and bassist Petros Klampanis.
This concert is a sneak peek of their upcoming album, scheduled to be released in spring of 2013.
Grotto is a great place located in Lower Side (NYC), that hosts excellent music and serves delicious food and wine.

Because this composition contains so many ii-V's I thought it's a good idea to learn outlines.

I was in waorkshop today with Graig Bailey and he was talking about practising a tune with different rythms which eventually leads you to different stlyes. So rythm is EVERYTHING!
This is a good way to practise tunes!

thanks

This is another solo on the tune Recado bossa nova.
