“A Time for Love” composed by Johnny Mandel – one of the great ballads by a wonderful composer. Legendary pianist Bill Evans plays a superb version of this song.
A few thoughts on solo playing as featured on this clip:
Although only three…
“I’ll Remember April” - played this song this past Saturday night on the gig with Mark. One of the classic standards and always fun to play. Playing here in the early morning at Berklee before a class. The building used to be a hotel many…
Took some videos of a recent performance at an assisted living facility. At least we didn't distract the guy on the left so much he couldn't work on his puzzle.
This one is "Feliz", composed by Carmen Sandim
I'm sure I'm late to the "party" per usual, but having started to spend more time playing with a harpist, I'm blown away by these two. Joe Locke needs no introduction obviously.

“Sous le ciel de Paris” (Under the Sky of Paris) - one of my favorite classic songs from France. This superbly crafted composition was written for the 1951 film of the same name. Paris has to be one of our favorite cities in Europe for my…
This is an excerpt of a great workshop David gave at our French workshop this year.
He talked about getting up and improvising on your instrument or a different one, and playing it in a way where you can get to know it.
What about appearance/clothing on gigs???
o What are the factors that go into this decision?
It’s a performance not a recording. Your audience can see you and will be looking at the stage for at least part of the time while you are…
This afternoon I wanted to get into this chord guide you did Tony, posted here:

I printed and proceeded to try and put it to memory while integrating the melody,…
Our next TOTM is Autumn Leaves. Here is one of my favorite versions. Do you know who Eva Cassidy is? Man check her out, she is pretty heavy. More of a blues singer, but wow, she gives me chills. She died very young and in her prime. I'm a…
Whether it's music, or business, or sports, or relationships...in the end, success is all the same. This man gets right to the heart of it. Worth a few minutes to read...

If you know the changes to Miss Jones and know the melody, here's a simple melodic solo to transcribe.
If you transcribe it, post it here.
You can hear the tune in the solo, right? You hear the harmony right? And I'm playing so little to…
here´s some more music i wrote for the detective novel...this time a simple 7/8 bass vamp with various themes played by the malletkat and sax.
this will be during a chase in the story...you get the picture?
Here you go Stefan. Autumn Leaves voicings. You have to do some of the work. I think I got the form and all that right. You need to label the chords and then label the alterations. Finally I think you need to memorize this. Just play it…
Great player! I was just watching some of his videos to get inspired to practice, when I noticed these weird spacers on his vibes. Anyone have info on them?
So I said I'd start to be accountable and post video of things I"m working on. This is a start. Starting reading through this yesterday. Harder than it looked! So many nuances with time, phrasing, pedaling, etc. So, a work in progress! I…
Hi Everyone,
As I always try to do, I've mixed it up for you with some standards (Airegin, Old Devil Moon, Green Dolphin Street) and some contemporary compositions by Nick Mancini, Steve Hobbs, and David Friedman. Change of pace is always…
