Here's a 2 part lesson on rhythm changes. The lesson plan contains the break down.

Here is a two part etude on rhythm changes. The first is a solo with a pdf of the transcription.

Part 2 is a chorus of comping with the transcribed music in a pdf from.

Also are audio files with all the parts and then without the play along parts.

You should memorize both solos and play them in different keys to study them.

The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought.

Isn't that an incredible quote. I found online with no source. That's what music is to me. To me that's what we're all trying to do through improv. That's why I don't like a lot of terms, or steps to getting somewhere in playing music. The fewer steps and the fewer terms will free you from the tyranny of conscious thought!

Do you like that quote?

So I spent 16 hours today, switching my basement (ahem, video studio) around. I know have a bigger space as my house is on an angle street, so one side of the house is wider than the other.

Should be totally cool for the vibe hang. Much more room.

Now I lay me down to sleep!!!! It's late.

After you get past the suit, you'll realize what a monster Artie is. He's a lounge player in vegas and I think he plays his butt off!

I've seen this before and Joe just saw it over at youtube and emailed me and said "YOU HAVE TO POST THIS".

Wait till the cadenza.

this is my version of tonys nice vince guarldi etude...sorry for the wrong notes specially in the b section but i was to lazy to cut them in from another version...

Here's part 1 of a series of lessons helping you understand the tune Giant Steps.

All Night Long is a film that takes place in London's jazz scene of the early 1960s, this updating of Shakespeare's 'Othello' features a strong cast (the late Patrick McGoohan as a brilliant jazz drummer who is very opportunistic and Richard Attenborough), as well as appearances by some of the best known names from the jazz world such as Charlie Mingus, Dave Brubeck, Johnny Dankworth, Keith Christie, former lead and solo trombone from the great Ted Heath band, and the late Tubby Hayes, who apparently has been getting some attention and discussion here on vibes workshop.

This is my third shot at getting the music up on the site. It is Bryan Carrott accompanying Fathead Newman on a very famous jazz tune. See if you can guess it.
