Hello everyone,

Here's the first video of me playing Life's Blessing. Please excuse the sound and video quality. I'm not too good when it comes to the technical recording and video stuff.

On this video, I'm doing one chorus of left hand comping in which I'm bringing out guide tone lines as well as some bass motion. I also use quite a few 10ths which seems to work well with this type of tune.

If anyone has any questions about this, just let me know.

F Blues with left hand comping along with soloing with the right hand. Dedicated to one of my favorite pianists in this type of style (with left hand comping four to the bar), Dave McKenna.

Hey Everyone,

I just recorded this (in Tony's terms, a "Quick and Dirty Video") last week when I was taping some things for the Life's Blessing study. The progression from this rendition is based on Keith Jarrett's version of Shenandoah from his recording The Melody at Night, With you.

about 2 month´s ago i saw a live concert of christina aguilera on tv. she really blew me away cause not like other pop diva´s she had a real band with complete horn section ON the stage and not hided anywhere in the back.the band was really killer like and they played soul and even some jazz elements in there, mostley from her back to basics cd.i got the cd later but it´s not as good as her live show...ok i am no teenie anymore but this woman really can sing incredible.

Guys!

I just got an email from Harry... he sent me this link, saying I might like it cos' this film was recorded in Paris 1961...

Harry, I'm sorry but this is not something that can be just kept in an emailbox... well not in mine!!! :o)

His solo is quite short, but God that whole tune is incredible!!

Enjoy!!

P.S.: I had not noticed before, but his catch phrase signing his emails is "Live, Laugh, Love, and make Music"... :o)

Hi everyone,

I am interested in getting a wide-ranging discussion about practicing going here on the VW. There is more than one way to approach practicing, and it is a very personal thing for each musician. Some musicians are very methodical about it while others are highly flexible. And things like schedules, traveling, and access to practice space can all contribute to shaping one’s practice habits.

The Concert Will Be Here

We decided to open this concert for everyone who might be interested in checking it out.
Originally we were inviting a lot of presenters, but since this is the first one we decided to trim that back for this time.

We hopped around the country today.

At my house was 5 vibe players. Me, Randy Sutin, Michael Caine, Sy Platt and Barry K.
Also Mark P on bass and Charlie Paterno on drums.

Was went up to Boston and listened to Mario Diciuttis play some amazing things on the Mallet Kat, out to Oregon and listened to Tmacoid then to Brooklyn to listen to James Shipp and Jo Lawry. I think everybody had a lot of fun!

This is such a great group!

Man check out the playing on this demo. Listen to David play the first piece. The playing is absolutely incredible. The second piece is pretty spectacular as well.
