Here's a version of Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz. We're playing it in Db versus Eb. Joe and I played this at our recital at Berklee this past summer. It's a fun tune to play on. There are some fantastic pianist versions of the tune from Art Tatum and Chick Corea.

Here's Pt. 2 of articulation, ideas on adding accents inside lines.

Did I post this already?

I titled it 'Out Take'. But I can't find a major screw up. Maybe I dropped a beat somewhere? See what you can find!

Guys, here's a clip of Autumn Leaves (also with some reharm behind the melody). I used some reharm during the solo as well. Many players use a chromatic II-7 V7 on the 3rd bar. Bill Evans did some simple but effective diatonic passing chords from I to IV on the bridge (which I shamelessly copied).

There's a great version on YT of Gary playing Autumn Leaves when he was in Moscow with a saxist Igor Butman.

Form his Monk gig on Saturday.

No, Vinnie was not mixing his coffee: he was making music! ;-)
