Since I have to stay home except for a bit of shopping and walks around the beautiful park in my neighborhood I decided to record something each day of Corona house arrest. I'm starting today. This is a blues with the left hand doing "four…
This is a first quick & dirty recording with our first self made bar set. This was part of a thesis work of a mechanical engineering student (no musician).
The frame and bars are part of several thesis works to set up a demo project…
Thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak, cancelled gigs, and lots of time on my hands, I settled into transcribing another Walt Dickerson solo. This one, like Bacon and Eggs, is over a very simple short form. It is all a waltz romp on C major.…
Due to the massive semester shifts caused by Covid 19, I can no longer realize the planned industrial development project with my (mechanical engineer) students this semester. Therefore, I have to prepare an own development project.

“Tea For Two” - an impromptu run through tonight of this classic that I haven’t played for years. Helps maybe a little bit playing music for a brief respite of thinking what’s going on in the world right now. Thoughts and hope for everyone…
I made this for my student Nathan, but I'd love to see who else wants to do this.
I play All Blues with an Aebersold recording. You play the melody and at the end. I solo first. You comp for me and I comp for you. Comp in the lower octave…
Stuck and home and starting writing lines over Bluesette. Heres the first A. If this interests folks I'll add more and maybe explain some of the thinking behind the lines. PDF attached. I played it mostly right.

Hi everyone! Here is an etude that I wrote inspired by part one of the Keith Jarrett Koln Concert. I've been using this as a fun way to work on coordination and dynamics between the 4 mallets. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you all…
You're assignment is to learn the melody.
Post a comment here that says you know it, or post a video of you playing simply the melody. Do this before you go on to lesson two.
I added the lead sheet below.
Just check out his four mallet playing. I've hung with him and talked about this with him. He thinks in a different way about harmony and I think it's incredible. He's not worried about roots or anything, he's just gliding up and down the…
Hey my peeps,
In my free time I have committed to learning the batá drums. For those that aren't familiar, batá drums are religious drums that originate from Yorubaland (Nigeria) in West Africa and are used in Afro-Cuban ceremonies and…
Hi vibes friends,
in this lesson we will talk about McCoy Tyner and his amazing harmonic concept applied to modal tunes based on sparse chords.
