Probably one of the best things about our instrument is that, when all hell is breaking loose around us, we can retreat to an instrument that is capable of playing very peaceful and soothing tones. It's one of those nights over here and this is one of my mother in law's favorite Christmas tunes, "Mary's Boy Child" by Harry Belafonte.

Thought I'd share it. Been working on some new recording technique for very soft playing as well.

Hi Everyone,

We were talking about this solo in the Vibe Coffee house (meets on Sundays).

Mike Mainieri transcribed this when he was a kid.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a beat to hell M55 that I can buy to tinker with and make better than it was when it came off the assembly line. I will then resell it with some very nice updates and features. Please keep your eyes open for me. PH. 972-762-2638 PIPERvibe@Gmail.com

Wednesday Night November 25th at 7pm.

Our next pop up class is on Ireal Pro.

Mainly to show how if you do a couple things, Ireal gets much hipper!!!!

One is to fix up the lead sheet. I'll take about some general rules you can use and we'll do a before and after on a couple lead sheets.

Who's in????

The class is for anyone.
Generally pop up classes are for subscribers.

Tony Miceli is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

In the linked video, I noticed the very different sound development due to the different playing styles of Oliver and Tony.

Oliver uses the dampimg significantly less than Tony. The damper bar also seems to press harder against the bars. His tone is therefore extremely percussive, but also dry and with almost no sonority.

In contrast, Tony gives the tones more opportunity to develop sonority by adjusting the damper pedal almost constantly while playing.
