springtime

winter is almost gone i thought its time to make a solo vibe version of tune i wrote few years ago called "spring time". inspired by tonys cherokee etude with the walking bass i tried to apply it here in the b part. man thats so hard for me to do (as you can hear). i worked on it the whole week and its still not without mistakes but i dont care.

another problem for me with this tune was that i get faster while playing it.i practized with metronom but if i do wihout i always rush, maybe i hear it that fast in my head but just can´t play it.anyway here it is...

Chega Chega Chega - Confessions of a Gary Burton Fan

I exchanged a couple nice emails with Gary Burton. He was suprised to see his video of Chega. I would imagine that that would be pretty heavy if you didn't know it existed and saw it after all this years. That's the 60's?

I'm a Gary fan from way back. When I first heard Chega, I almost cried and died. I had never thought it was possible to do that on the instrument. I'm not alone am I?
