Mainieri's playing gave me the goose bumps and made me want to cry out in joy!
Elias, Erskine and Gomez sound great here too. Why wasn't I listening to this in 1983 instead of the Fat Boyz and Run-DMC? (LOL)!
Hey David!
Someone started a NY Session Musicians group on Facebook, and this photo was posted. Thought I'd share it here. (Hugh McCracken is in like every photo!)

I have not been playing much lately (which is not really making me happy)...but anyway, I grabbed a few minutes and was thinking about the Stride Blues stuff that Tony & Ed had done. So I propped up my iPhone, and made a little video. The thing works great for these kind of practice videos! Thank you guys, for the inspiration...
Does anyone know where I can obtain a chart to "Tanguedia III" by Astor Piazzolla? The piece is on Tango: Zero Hour and Gary has recorded it on his Libertango CD. I've searched several online sheet music retailers with no luck, so if anyone has a link to where I can buy it, I appreciate it!
It's one of the Piazzolla pieces that I think I could play on a gig - like Oblivion and a few others.
Raphael is going to be posting etudes on the site, one a month for subscribers. Here's the first one! He's putting it in Sibelius and as soon as it's done I'll get it on the site.
But check this etude out. This cat can play!!
A quick lesson on using a modal concept of substitutions. I translate it into a tune. This is for advanced players I would think.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to see Joe Locke Play at Dizzy's next Thursday (January, 28th?) and I thought I'd put it out there and see if a bunch of us want to go and do a vibe hang at Dizzy's.
Any interest???? Leave a comment if you are.
Here's an etude written by Simon working on his left hand.
I think it's great that David has his students write etudes to work on the technique!!
Check out Simon's monster left hand.
Hey Philly vibe players i'll be playing at Chris's Tonight Jan 20 Wed. 8 and 9:30!
