I think most of us know a few things about the brain based on recent research. We know that when you stop practicing something, stop solving a problem, the brain does not stop. I've been working out a few things lately and I've got to see…
Quick question and simple but wanted input:
Let's say I am soloing over F sharp minor seven flat five and one of my solo choices I came up with is: whole step, half step pattern. i was thinking f# minor in dorian, but didn't like…
Ceora has such an optimistic, joyous melody. It was a staple in my repertoire at the hundreds of solo gigs I did at local eateries here in the world class wine country north of San Francisco.
I'm sure this tune has been a TOTM at one time…
So....
I was chatting in the shout box about sight reading subscriber Bob Adler. We briefly talked about sight reading. So I thought I'd start a post about sight reading.
I'm not a great reader but I can manage. First I put the music…
Does anyone know about Saito vibes? One for sale here that a young student of mine is interested in. Motor not working, C to C (which I don't have a good feeling about) and $900. If the bars are terrific, maybe they're worth it. But are…
I wanted to mention this beautiful series by Kjell Samkopf.

Greetings VibesWorkshop!
As some of you know, I’m currently knee-deep in year two of a 5-year doctoral program in Ethnomusicology (sometimes defined as the anthropology of music). I’m getting close to the time when I should have an idea…
Tony,
Have you ever thought about offing high bit-rate downloads? I buy stuff off of HDtracks from time to time because I have some audio equipment that can take advantage files that are better than CD.
It would be way cool if we could…
Hello to everybody:
I am very glad to present you the new CD of the MAROSA JAZZ PROJECT (latin-jazz group from Galicia, Spain), which I have the honour to led. This is one of the album´s songs called "Isra sempre vai a latin" ("Isra always…
The Rode NT1A is currently my favorite mic for live sound. Not so much in the studio because I don't love the top end that way. That very flaw makes it nice and warm on live PAs with piezoelectric tweeters that tend to crackle and be…
Here I am comping over Green Dolphin Street. Nothing else just me comping. For me it's important to have to have a melody in the top voice and then fit everything in from the top down. Maybe it seems like the way to do that is from the…
