Tony lesson 5

Vibraphone and guitar duets always fascinate me. These two can often compete with either other in a combo setting or big band because they are both comping instruments. I think the sounds don’t always mix the best with a piano also trying to play as well. After we talked about the emotion that certain chords give off, this was the perfect album to follow that lesson. Each song has a different story and meaning, and the chord progression can make you feel some sort of way. This is definitely a “sit in the dark with it blasting in your ears” type album.

Hello everyone,

Tony Lesson 4 : head, improv, comping, and head out

Tony Lesson 4

Tony’s Lesson 4 

This album, The Arrival of Victor Feldman, is an album I wish I knew about sooner. This trio makes you forget that you are listening to a trio. They don’t have that awkward empty space or the same routine every time. The other unique thing is, it’s a trio but with four instruments. How brilliant is that. It adds so much to each song to have both the piano and vibes switching out. Another thing, Stan Levey, the drummer loves the triangle I’m guessing. I counted about three songs that DIDN’T have triangle. Keep your ears out for the triangle hits!
