I've been talking to someone I met on facebook about her father Jerry Shard. He played trombone and vibes. One cool thing he did was record a tribute record to Adrian Rollini. So he must have known quite a big about Adrian. It would have been great to be able to talk to him! Here's the email his daughter sent and I'll Include photos and a video of him playing drums and trombone. I'm trying to get a recording of him playing vibes.

Here's an etude where we focus on voicings. You fill in the chords so you analyze the piece! then play it!

WOW Hauke remembered to do the Mini Concert! That's amazing. I totally forgot! (I'm in the midst of some major life changes).

A vibes, cello and drums band. I was expecting the worse but there's something I like about these guys. I at least give them credit for trying something like this! What do you think?

Yes another great thing about the site is I get to meet people with great Vibe stories!

I'm talking to the daughter of Jerry Shard. He was a vibe player from back in the day and he was on Capitol Records AND did a tribute to Adrian Rollini. That's pretty cool huh? They have the record on cassette and I'm trying to get a copy along with photos for the site! Jerry lived in Philadelphia. I'll pass along more info as I get it.

Hey everyone,

It's about that time to wrap up our current TOTMs "All The Things You Are" and "Prince Albert." It would be great to see everyone posting some final versions!

Our new TOTMs will include "Take The "A" Train" and "It's You Or No One." I'll be posting an introductory lesson to A Train shortly.

Hey guys how about Dec 12th for a mini concert weekend. Maybe I can schedule a live thing as well that weekend.

What's a mini concert. Three tunes you play in a row without stopping. So you can practice simply that. Playing 3 tunes in a row solo. It's really great and has helped me a lot.

Who's in? That would be a great weekend. It can be audio or video, it doesn't matter at all!

Post your confirmation here!
