Finding time to listen to cds is pretty rough any more. Tonight though I'm trying to get in a couple cuts of some buddies cds. One of which is James Shipps cd.
I think you guys would dig it. I guess it's all or mostly Irish tunes? Jim's a…
Every once in a while I blog about what's happening deep inside of the site. I know there are a lot of members out there that are working hard, some don't live near teachers, or other players. I want them to know how much is going on here…
Here's our first comping party.
Just pick a tune that you know, comp only and upload it. This might turn out to be a phenomenal way to study comping. I thought about all picking the same tune, but maybe do that next time? For the first…
I spent the last 2 weeks and will the next 2 weeks, learning a ton of tunes for gigs. But these gigs are big bands or really written out originals.
This has been hard. Reading is not my forte. I can read a lead sheet, but following a big…
So I didn't have much time this weekend I thought I would put myself in the open a little, just to see what would happen.
Tonight I decided I had to record something I know I wouldn't be confident about... So I decided to do a solo version…
Sooo.... I was hanging out practicing and began thinking about Tony's great stride vibes recording of Cheek to Cheek. I've never really worked on that kind of thing, so I started wondering what I could do with that "signature style" of…
Here's a lesson plan for Invitation.
A great way to study this tune in pieces. Each lesson in the beginning will focus on one part of the tune. Later we put it all together and focus on the tune as a whole and work on improvising on it.…

We lost arguably the most soulful player on the instrument 10 years ago today. But look at all great influence he's had on everyone who works these bars. I read and listen to all the players here who site his great influence on their music…

ACE OF CAKES
Did anybody else see the television show on the Food Network called ACE OF CAKES? It's a bakery in Baltimore that makes ridiculously amazing cakes for special events (the prices start at $1000 and up). Their trademark is…
Hey Guys and Girls!
Here's the play along for recording a version of Alone Together this week. It's a quartet version(vb-bs-drs+You), so I think some of you will find it a little easier to play along then with only vibes duo.
This version…
Interesting how things work. Yin and Yang. I saw this post from Nico, replied to him saying this is the ad to use!! It's the best!!
At the same time I got an email from a user of the site, who is a female. Not Milt in Skirt or Marie (we…
Hi All,
There's been a great discussion on a thread started by Steve Shapiro on the future of the music business (see check this out). I've been enjoying that quite a bit, but I'm worried that it's a bit too esoteric for most of the…
Guys!
Our last newbie's name is "Achakon", from Spain. I made a little search, and I came across some great vids with a guy named Alfredo Chacon. I'm not yet sure it's him, but this guy is smoking!
A few links for you:
- Cruceta Flamenco:…
When I transcribe Parker I think about Bach. I'm telling you they're the same people.
I'm falling asleep here at the computer, but I wanted to start transcribing his solo off of the tune Merry Go Round. That woke me up for a bit.
I just…
