We all new he would become a serious contender in a short time....

I found that very interesting video... very parallel with the video posted recently by Tony

"Have You Met Miss Jones" - At home today practicing with playing this great standard in various keys. Here's a clip (5 choruses) starting in F and then going up a minor 3rd for each chorus and eventually ending back in F. The bridge is a little tricky since it goes through 3 keys a major 3rd apart.

Learn this. Memorize it and then we can talk about it!

For many years now, I've been working with a local arts organization, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (https://hopartscenter.org/). For the past several years I've organized what we've called the Sunset Jazz Concert series -- 6 to 8 outdoor jazz concerts during the summers on Saturday nights.

Two years ago, through some herculean fund raising, the HCA managed to complete building a new performance/gallery/instruction facility. At this time I added a monthly jam session, now on the 2nd Friday night of each month.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

David Friedman will be here Oct 14th. I wanted to have a vibe hang for him. Any of you guys interested? Any New York guys want to take a ride down?

Let me know what you think in the comments.

wow, i did not know they played together...shame on me. 2 musicians with great chops. i was wondering that Mike played 1961 with 4 mallets...at least sometimes. i thought Gary was the only one who invented 4 mallets playing at that time...
