Sight reading

...just thinking out loud and letting ya'll know what I'm up to at the moment.

I've been sight reading every day for the last month or so. I just print 6 or 8 pages of a solo or something I find online, turn on a metronome and go.

The Meaning Of The Blues - Michael Brecker - Juan Les Pins 1990

This is not vibes but I think it's a great musical lesson: I discovered this tune today, after listening to a recent interview of Joe Locke where he speaks about it. I heard the Julie London & Shirley Horn versions with lyrics, the Miles/Evans' instrumental. But man when I hear this version I remain speachless: I've never been a great saxophone fan, but to me Michael Brecker here can make the words speak deeper than the lyrics themself... Wow... Enjoy

Arturo Serra - New CD! - Bobby! (newsteps records)

Hi everybody,

Here is a link on you tube to my new album. I hope you like it!

Arturo Serra - Bobby! www.newstepsrecords.com

This my last release my humble tribute to one of the masters. To me it is a double tribute to Bobby Hutcherson as a vibes player and Bobby Hutcherson as a composer.
