For years ive been using jamey abersold's play records as an aide. His catalog of recordings hit on every aspect of improvising from basic scales to complex harmony. These have been a staple of my dialy routine since i started this journey and continue everyday.

I thought i would share one approach i have taken in recent years that has helped my ability to play in any situation.

Enjoy Rusty Burge's Group "Samba Jazz Syndicate" performing Jobim's "Chovendo Na Roseira".

Hi guys. Tried to "stay in the box" with tempo, harmony and melody. Tried to make it as clear as i could. Fore sure i have to weave more, it's still too fragmented. Have been working on that ....

Hey, I have this stuck in my mind, I taped it, mostly to remember it.

It must be the time of the year. I really have no energy. Perhaps that's why I come with something like this. It's a rough idea. Maybe I do something with it, maybe not.

greetings stefan.

This is a blog dedicated to the study of Baroque. Consider this a part of the TOTM - CHOPS. I inspired to create this blog from Tony's post about increasin techinque (http://www.vibesworkshop.com/story/few-simple-things-will-dramatically-…). You can post your performances here or you can fill in the other voice that miss from the baroque pieces are posted here.

This Friedman etude No3 from one of my students. I always encourage my students to make up and play their own etudes. I will post his soon.

Enjoy

This etude is about lines... So, what do you suggest to make my practise of this tune more difficult and challenging!

thanks

Hello everyone.
Nicos Skalkotas was one of the greatest Greek composer who actually took the Greek traditional music and out it into the symphonic orchestra. This is a very good example of how 2 different words can combine and create something new. Nikos skalkotas has also studied with Arnold Schonberg. For more information click below.
