I'm working very hard on this tune and thinking about it.
Here's a decent version. I work on trying to have good time and being articulate. I think for the most part I am. At the end of the tune on the tag I don't feel great about it, but I imagine if I didn't say anything nobody would notice. But I notice!
I try to play lines and focus on putting the harmony in the line and then not having to do so much with the accompaniment.
I say let's work on this tune. I'll get Behn and Oliver to post lessons on it also.

Hi All,
November 7 and and November 10 - listen to Good Vibes on JazzOn2.
Hello all,
Here's another dampening lesson! This is a cool one, and one that has become an integral part of my playing recently.
Hey everyone,
I think this is pretty cool. "Pitch bending" is something I've been messing around with on the vibes, especially in a blues context, but also in ballads and really any setting you want. Let me know what you think!
I have been playing the changes of Just In Time, lately.
And I always think in terms of solo playing and holding four mallets.
When you're playing lots of notes, you don't need chords. At this tempo, I'm mostly playing 8 notes in a bar. I need most of the time, 2 notes to spell the chord. Once I have cycled through the changes and played the head, the harmony is there. I don't need. In fact if I do a good job playing through the changes on the head, I can even make mistakes and get back into the changes and the listener should be fine. So I think!
