Hey guys,
My vibraphone trio, The Wee Trio, just released our fifth CD today. We expanded the trio for trumpet, guitar, and piano. It features Nicholas Payton, Nir Felder, and Fabian Almazan. Here's an EPK/Promo video of the record.
Had a little time today between classes and ran through Chick's composition "Desert Air". Chick and Gary recorded a brilliant version on their debut recording "Crystal Silence", one of my favorite recordings. I remember seeing Gary play this solo during the 70s at a club in Boston called The Jazz Workshop. It was spectacular. This is a great but tough tune with odd bar phrasing and unusual chord progressions and modulations.
Hi Guys this is the second lesson of a series called Comping 101 where I will cover a lot of the secret of this refined art.
This month I will cover some basic Ideas for learning chords progression so that you'll never forget them!
This is the current etude I have been working on in my lessons.
