Hi all,

After our long discussion about duets, I came across this very recent performance between Joe Locke and saxophonist Dick Oatts...

Man the vocabulary, energy, intensity are very dense and powerful!! They both must have gotten used up after that!! I enjoyed the reactions of the audience, and that great conversation after Joe's solo... and the end... yes the end and the joy on their faces! :o)

P.S.: can someone help me and name this tune?

I would like to hear some insights into playing over minor 11 chords where the progression moves by a 5th. (Em11 > Bm11 > F#m11 > C#m11 > Abm11 > Ebm11 > Bbm11 > Fm11)

How would or do you get your head around this pattern?

Also your thoughts on voicings for this chord type would be appreciated for comping and soloing. Those changes are from One of the tunes I'm working on: Joe Lockes' Tarzani.

Andrea was in a music school with adults. They were learning Giant Steps. He couldn't grasp the theory, so he just went home and learned it by himself. Now listen.

Any this story comes from John Daly. (John do i have it right?)

Fresh from this morning, an exercise in cool jazz. A long-distance session with my pal J.B. I sent him the vibes-bass track, he added the piano, and then I added the drums.

tony miceli - vibes

Hi, Can someone tell me about the Adams SV1 Soloist Vibraphone, 3.1 octaves? is the frame easy to disassemble and re-assemble for gigs? Thanks, J Maffia

Interesting because we've been talking about playing solo.

Denny is also a psychiatrist and a great pianist. He wrote the tune in the Real Book 'Quiet Now'.

Here's a quick lesson on stuff I'm working on. Just passing it on for whatever it's worth!
