A little Sunday practicing on Cole Porter's classic composition "Just One of Those Things".

I’ve been a while away, due to some personal circumstances. But I'm back here. It doesn’t mean off course that I didn’t do anything with the vibes, but it wasn’t as much as usual. Let me fill you in with ‘the vibraphone road’ I took these last months.

First of all :
I am finishing my course to become a teacher. I needed to make a storyboard regarding how I evolved concerning ‘guiding people in education’.
I really suck at drawing, but I did draw something, and then I thought. What if I tried to put music on it? So I did.
But first of all, a little explanation of my storyboard.

Hi there,

Vibes Congress 2015 Recap

Getting a little practice time in today at home while on a semester break from Berklee. Here are a few choruses of I'm Old Fashioned by Jerome Kern and Johnny Mercer. I learned this tune playing with trumpeter Herb Pomeroy and clarinetist/saxist Dick Johnson. I learned so much from playing with them. Sadly, they have left us but are still very much missed and remembered by many musicians especially in the Boston area.

Dedicated to the great Charlie Haden whom we lost in 2014. A very special musician and person.

A good way to start a new year :o))
Happy new year for all !!!!
