Here's an excerpt from a clinic where I talked about voicings and harmony. All the great players have a solid grasp of voicings and harmony. I remember Gary telling me in lessons way back that every voicing should have something interesting about it whether it be an unusual tension, shape, interval,...In a lot of solo vibe performances I hear the changes but the harmony is too bland. It's especially important to sound a tension on a Dom 7 chord. You wouldn't hear a solo pianist or guitarist sound the changes without any color.

Here is another tune from Ms. Magnolia's first outing being recorded. Jeannie Brooks, vocals and Barry Sames piano.

Solo clip of Monk's great tune Ask Me Now. Focusing on some steady left hand comping along with interspersed two hand runs for fills in this clip. Tricky changes with lots of II-7 V7s.

Excerpt from clinic in Milan playing Black Orpheus.
