University of the Arts vibe studio discussion #1- Ellington/ Strayhorn

So the University of the Arts (where Tony teaches in Illadelph) is illin' hard this year and we are going to start a monthly to bi monthly study. So we will blog on the blogoshphere of the interwebs via vibesworkshop.com about a certain composer or style, recommend tunes/info/recordings to each other, each learn some tunes from that composer or in that style, and eventually meet up and have a vibe hang that is centered around the topic du jour of the month.

The first up on the list is Duke Ellington/ Billy Strayhorn.

TOTM - Summertime Resource

For the TOTM Tony mentioned that there was a bunch of Summertime stuff already on the site, so I figured it might be good to get it all together in one post. If anyone finds anything else, feel free to add it.

Ornithology Rogh Practice Video with BIAB

since very very few people posted something on ornithology i decided to post this practice session from today. not very structured, few mistakes in the head but anyway...i post it.

i want to hear you guys on that tune please post what you have so far no matter what it is...

i think it´s not easy to play a good solo over it because i tend to fall into scales and licks i always use if it´s that fast...not easy to get rid of that :(
