Free Verse and Photos in the Key of Jazz

Hi Everyone,
Well, after months of fun work had by me, I have finally released my book "Free Verse and Photos in the Key of Jazz." In it there are 36 verses built entirely of jazz tune titles, a format that is completely original and my crazy idea. They vary from the shortest with four titles to the longest with 73, "My Little Brown Book." Each one centers around a theme. E.g., "Alexander's Ragtime Band" includes characters like "Mingus Fingus" and "Mack the Knife." Even the poem titles are song titles.

Alice in Wonderland - Solo Vibraphone

Working on the classic "Alice in Wonderland" in a practice session this past week while focusing on several solo vibraphone techniques for playing in 3/4. I was inspired way back by Bill Evans' classic interpretation of this song on the Live at the Village Vanguard recording with Bill, Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian.

I'm planning on recording a tutorial at some point dealing with playing solo vibraphone on 3/4 tunes. There are a quite a few things to think about and work on in this area.
