TOTM - Pannonica
I'm working on Monk's Pannonica, which was written for Pannonica de Koenigswarter. Monk spent the last 10 years in the upstairs of her Apartment in New York.
This is a great tune. I've been working on it for a little bit now. Ballads are great because you can use the pedal more and your sound can be 'wetter'.
Here are two versions of the tune. Of course a Monk version and then a Chick Corea version. He does it a little quicker.
Also is attached is an etude and an mp3 of the etude. I did the etude on my malletkat. I think I have a good vibe sound!

Rock-a-bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody - Vibraphone Solo by David Kovins
Chord Changes To Getting Sentimental Over You - Solo (Etude)
Can you play this? With a metronome, make it swing and play the rhythyms? Go as slow as you want to!!!! But once you get it down, work on the speed. Also, IMHO, don't use it as a reading exercise. Memorize it. Can you play it in another key?
I'll give a free lesson to anyone who can play it (memorized) in another key. And you'll have to play it at the lesson as well! :-)

This is a "workout" in a musical sense, although it certainly requires energy and concentration!
