Hey everyone,

Tony will be playing in Amsterdam on the 4th of february. So this is a few days before the workshops. If any of you guys are coming to the workshop, maybe you should consider coming on thursday to catch this gig. It'll be fun.

Tony will be playing with some friends of mine that have a great trio. Check them out at: http://www.jurriaanberger.nl/ewohome.htm

Here it is my first public post on an etude Tony and I have been working on for some weeks, have to say it was a difficult piece to get together and it has taken a while to get it somewhat smooth, hope you like it, would like to dedicate this to Marie Noelle as its her favourite tune of all hmmmmm I should mention thats Tony's backing track and I played over it

I've been thinking about ballad playing, so I thought I'd put my thoughts down on video!

David sent this video over of him demonstrating to a student the idea of playing laid back. So now we get to check it out as well. It's a beautiful solo! I love his lines and his feel! -- Tony Miceli

Hi All,

This was from a gig back in April of this year. In addition to me on vibes, there's Doug Sondak on alto, Steve Conahan on bass and Ed Conley on drums. Bit of a train wreck on the ending, unfortunately. I thought the sax player was going for a iii-VI7-ii-V7 vamp ending, but the bass player didn't catch on and it kind of waffled around until we fell into a Imaj7 vamp to end. Oh well, it came out OK otherwise :-).

Constructive criticism appreciated...

"For The Love of You " will be released in January, 2010 on E1 Music.

We now have a very thorough stuff of voicings here! There's so much to learn.
