This is the first song that Anje and I wrote together. We were in Brazil and studying with a great pianist called Alberto Farah. Anje had the melody so we started working on it then when we came home I wrote the string arrangements. I have always wanted to play a solo over strings. So lush
The English title is Song of the mermaid. Hope you don't mind the post

Here is a recording of a beautiful song by Chico Buarque and Tom Jobim. Anje West on Vocals with Helen Russell on bass myself on Vibes

From Gary Burton about The Complete Guide To Improvisation:

"At last, an improvisation book that is clear, well organized, and easy to understand. Ed Saindon has done a really thorough job laying out the stepping stones to mastering jazz improvisation. Well done, Ed!"

Information about the book:

Ok, you write in the chords and the alterations and then play the etude. Check out the voicings and check out that even if they get a little weird you can always (I hope) hear the tune.

Hey Guys,

This is a video of my mallet duo M-DUR and my good friend singer TOMKO FAHNSTER playing the tune TIME by TOM WAITS.

voc - Tomko Fahnster
vib - Hauke Renken
mar - Patrick Stapleton

Patrick and me played a few gigs this summer, most of the time in churches in the north of Germany, and we had this new song on our setlist. For us it was often the highlight of the evening. So much fun to play!!! :)

What do you think? Thanks for some comments and critics! :)
