Swingin'!

It's a different thing! There's alway talk amongst vibe player about Steve Nelson. He certainly stirs up some controversy, which is good I think.

He's definitely trying for something different here. If you've followed him then you've heard him burn and play totally inside.

Hey Everyone,

I posted two more Nelson CD's. The first on was recommended by Arture and I also posted another one. Somehow the Amazon post did not work, so they're not showing up as recent posts so I thought I'd add a link to the library posts here.

Check these out:

Steve Nelson - New Beginnings

And yet another great CD by Steve Nelson. Check it out!

Here is a CD by Steve Nelson that was just recommended to us by our good friend Arturo from Spain.

I don't think it is available at amazon, but there is a page there with a link to other sellers of this CD.

Maybe not a very good title but I can't help it. I've been starting up my practice routine for 2 days now and started transcribing a steve Nelson solo on 'Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me'. It's Blowing me away!! I posted a part of his solo on But Beautiful on the same cd 'Full Nelon' a while ago(see check this out) and the thing that really blows me away is his timing. It really reminds me of Milt, weaving through the changes and swinging like hell.

Early Music on the Vibes. This is great playing!!

One of my favorite therapists, partly because she was cute and a large part because she was GREAT, taught me a big thing about music.

I remembered it today on my walk. I used to(still do a little) take all my problems and NOT solve them and then wrap them up into one big global problem. We used to unwrap them together. It was a great experience to see all your problems unraveled and then to realize that if you solved a bunch of them this big huge problem would usually go away. Which ones I used to ask her, should I solve. She'd say any of them.
