Argentina Diary

Day 1
6:40am. I stumble off the American Airlines flight from Miami after a mostly sleepless flight. The first thing I notice is that all the airport workers are wearing medical masks and rubber gloves. Guess they’re taking the flu seriously down here. In the baggage area I am concerned because there are no carts in sight. I have five pieces of luggage (three vibes cases, two personal luggage).
[Reminder to self: call Mark, my trusty case maker in Massachusetts, and order a replacement for the large case. This one won’t last much longer.]

Here is someone who obviously adores Milt Jackson, as do a lot of people on this site. However, even though this person does not obviously "sound" like Milt, they have managed to play an exact solo by Milt with his nuances. Enjoy!

I am a huge fan of Gary and this video I found! Very Interesting I think is from the pre rock/jazz/ fusion stuff
also you can see some dampening techniques and great solo.. Larry Coryell -guitar

originally i wanted to mail this video question to tony personal but it never made it to his mail address i don´t know why.so i thought who cares ... there are enough good players on the site who can help me out with this.
maybe some of you are dealing with the same problem sometimes.i´m happy for every comment!

Here's a version of the Monk tune 4 in 1. I'm going to write up a chord melody etude of what I play on the head.

I'm listening to George Shearing and I hear this beautiful vibe solo. It was Frank Ricotti. I never heard of him. Does anyone know about him??

I transcribed this a while ago. I haven't played through it in a while but I think I had worked all the kinks out of the notation. Please let me know if you find errors. This solo comes from a Bruce Foreman album "Full Circle w/Bobby Hutcherson".

I had this idea today. Just trying to figure out how to implement it as well see if there's interest.

I want to start a tune club for the summer. I would like it to be very disciplined. The idea is we learn 2-3 tunes a week.

I got it... we could do it like this. Week Challenges. I'll post the tunes say on a Wednesday. We all study the tunes all week and then post by the the following 7th day your version. I (or maybe Phillipe!) will make play along tracks. Just rough for you guys to learn the tunes. Everyone has to submit the tune by the 7th day.

I'm fasinated by lines so today I studied opening licks. I put them down in a Finale doc and thought I'd post them.

I sat and listened to them until I could pretty much play them, then I went over to the hunk of metal and tried to slowly play the lick without messing up. Then I sped it up and put it through all the keys.

You guys should try it. Licks are attached.
