"Sophisticated Lady" by the great Duke Ellington. I've been working on this song this past week. Such a deep and beautiful composition. Some of my favorite versions are from Duke of course as well as from great pianists like Art Tatum,…
Putting the Scales in the Chords
This is an old lesson, but I think it's good. The audio is down at the bottom of the text.
So think of the scales this way. The chord tones and the notes between the chord tones are the scales. For…
If you are into the Exotica genre, I think you will dig this group. Found them on Amazon Music where they have one of their albums available for free streaming.

Nice surprise today having Steve Nelson come to the mallet class which Gustavo and I ran. The class was part of the Berklee Percussion Weekend. Steve played two beautiful solo pieces. Sweet and Lovely and Ellington's Sophisticated Lady.…

Hi Everyone,
Boy, did May ever get away from me. Two events kept me crazy busy, the first the graduation of my son Nick from Temple University's graduate program in music in mid-May. The second, hosting the Jost Project at our house as a…
Any recommendations for bar cord for a Omega vibe? Had one snap on me the other night and had to use some musser cord which left several bars with a metallic buzz (also just tried some paracord with the same results! The reason for asking…
OK.. this may be getting silly. You know the drill if you checked out the first two. MP3 file is AABA starting with one mic, then switching to the other with each section. It is my hope that you can hear which is which because, this time…
Hey, I've been going through a bunch of the older TOTM's...Does anyone know how to I view each entry/tune on list chronologically? Within a tune, entries are alphabetical. Is there a sorting option that I'm missing? Thanks, D

I've decided to move the Philly workshop to my home.
I'm planning a great week from July 10-14 (I can even do something on the 9th If people come in early)
It's really getting impossible to do independent workshops at Universities unless…
SO, I think this may be more of what Tony was looking for here... I chose the AKG 414B as a comparison because it is a mic I get put on me a lot in studios that don't really record vibes a lot. It's a great mic, but you can decide if you…
So, in the first episode, I used two mics I considered substantially different. Tony and I discussed it a bit and we agree... as different as they are, there are a lot more similarities than differences and the differences are not in…
I haven’t had time to look and see how much this has already been covered before I joined the site. I’m hoping there is something useful here.
Patterns are great tools for improvising and technique building. Of course in jazz they don’t…

Those of you who know me know I love microphones and the different colors they generate. Years ago, I was looking for a great vibes mic and a good friend of mine who is an audio engineer recommended the Earthworks SR69. They were still a…
I work hard on our TOTM's. VW for me is a chance to teach and learn :-)
