Hey,

I saw this on Facebook, linked by Joe Locatelli. Jeez! Ain't that swinging!! And so soft, precise and in such fine nuances! And this huge work on open charley! Wow!! And Milt's mastery on the bars!! I had never noticed before how much his hands were close, or even on the bars!

Wow!! It's not "really new", but I Loved it!

Enjoy!

PS: I can see no name of the musicians on the Youtube links. But I'm sure you're gonna help me there! :o)

Site might go offline for a little this evening Feb. 11

Yeah!

I love this style. The Jabbing Chords in the left hand. I dig Mulgrew!

Great vid!

It took me a couple of days to get all impressions of last weekend into place.
Tho it may not look so, such a weekend is asking a lot from Paul and me here at the factory.

Preparing starts already on the Monday before:
- we needed to get the instruments ready (7 in total, only 4 used however)
- prepare/cleaning up our demo room
- prepare our cantine
- prepare/cleanin up the workshop
- organize the food and beaverage

Once the workshops started, for me the work calmed down a bit, so I could relax some.

I was checking out all kinds of versions of 'How Deep Is The Ocean' on youtube and came across this lesson by Andy Laverne. I thought this was pretty cool.

I especially found the screen of his face above the keyboard funny to see and the way he analyses the tune after with only the piano playing is pretty cool.

Oh yeah, and check the ending. He explains what Bill Evans did on the end.

If I had to make a fantasy workshop up, how I would like to see everything turn out, this would be it.

We all got to meet Marie, Nico and our guest David Friedman.

I'm so glad that our site 'mother' came to visit us at Nico's. Here's her and David playing Summertime.

Marie was watching David play and she said, he's a 'maniac' isn't he. That's a term we have for someone who just practices and plays all day and night. We asked him and David said he's always on the instrument always playing it. That's what it feels like when you talk to him and listen to him, that he's working on this thing like he was when he was 20.

They sound really great together. And I think they both became great friends in a day!
