Hey,
This is yesterday's take, which I post with little frustration I must admit. You see this has a few little mistakes. (for me, more experienced players will maybe think different. But try to look through my glasses).

It is proven again that 'a performance' is no mathematics. You see, yesterday, (so this take) my energy was good, and I had the feel a little magic happened. So I figured. Let's do it again tomorrow, but without those little mistakes.
Hell no. Small detail. Today was not yesterday, and my playing was OK, but somehow it didn't have the same feeling I liked.

Practicing Smog Eyes (Lennie Tristano) - There will never be another you (Harry Warren) trying to expand harmony with different extensions, triads and creating new cycles between the chords.

hi,
every friday i rehearse for fun with my best friend from school days. since short time we got a new location in the house of my mother where i put my 2nd vibes (studio 49). the location is great (i can use 4 rooms) and i plan slowly to built some sort of studio there and moved some of my recording stuff there. however in this video it´s still the sound of the camera. his name is christof and he´s a great guitar player.i learn a lot from just playing with him every friday.

Hauke is among our youngest (and newest) members. We met him in Wuppertal last February. Here is a beautiful piece he wrote for vibes and marimba (wow)... Enjoy...

Here's a chord study on Darn That Dream. I left the pedal markings off and the chords. First, you guys know I think you should write in each chord and check out the alterations. As for the pedal, it's common sense with these sorts of etudes. As well as the dampening and pedaling. As my mother used to say to me about things.... "You're a big boy, you can do it". If you're tackling and etude like this, you know how to pedal.

I practised comping the melody...

Hope you like it
