I Should Care by Tony Miceli

They great thing about tunes is that they're automatic etudes! I'm doing a hard etude with the tune Cherokee. I plan on writing it out and posting it here.

Tonight I decided to take a tune that's a little uncomfortable for me and work on it. The tune is 'I Should Care'. For me it lays awkward on the instrument. I think tunes in F work the best on the instrument. They have the biggest range!

'I Should Care' is in C and it always gives me trouble. If you play it 'up' and octave it doesn't seem to lay well, especially when you're playing Chords and the melody.

One by Gary Burton & Ahmad Jamal (1981)

Ahmad Jamal and Gary Burton play a tune called "One", not the one from "A Chorus Line."
This is from the early eighties at a foreign jazz festival. I'm not sure if it's Montreux. This tune has an African flavor to it. I have the LP from which this performance is taken. Jamal and Burton have never worked together before and, to my knowledge hadn't worked together since.
