PART 4

Academic but still might be interesting to anyone studying Giant Steps.

Doc Chittum is a very loved faculty member at Uarts. He does a lecture each year where he ties Giant Steps all the way back to Mozart. The lecture is pretty amazing. This is a 4 part excerpt from the lecture. In the lecture he hands out music and shows this lineage that's really incredible!

Here's the mini workshop from after the concert we did the other night. Steve talks about bass lines, playing without a bass player and learning tunes.

Hey everyone... it's been a while since I've been on the site. Trying to get back into the swing of things here and to catch up on all the stuff of missed.

This isn't a vibes video, but it is a great video of a bunch of extremely talented guys out of Basil, Switzerland. These are GREAT drummers... check them out!

The lesson demonstrates some comping patterns and ideas to get you started on playing in a ChaCha groove. All the patterns are over a ii-V7 vamp (Amin7-D7). You could use these patterns over songs like Oye Como Va and Soul Sauce.

You've been very gracious to share so much about your life in music. I am hoping you might share a bit about two of your more unusual recordings, "Tennessee Firebird" and "Time Machine." I have always been fond of both. How did you collect all those Nashville musicians in one place? Who is Walter L? Overdubbing was still in its infancy when you recorded "Time Machine." How were the people at RCA to work with? And one last question. Was that you carrying the vibe bars on the cover of your first album "New Vibe Man in Town"?

This video made me smile, really big, and I wanted to post it here. Then I saw that Tifoo posted it. Even better!

Hey everyone, just got back from San Francisco last week, and I'm happy to say that my group with saxophonist Ken Fowser earned the Generations fellowship for 2009. There's a cool article about it, you can go here: http://www.creativearts.sfsu.edu/node/998
