If there's problems with the lesson let me know. I don't have time to check it!
“Blue Monk” - it’s been nice having more time to revisit some recordings and transcriptions in the studio library. A few of the greats that I’ve been delving into are Coltrane, McCoy, Chick and Herbie. So much great stuff to learn, grasp and try to assimilate. Here’s a clip with that in mind.
The books I refer to in the video, if you want to take a deeper look into the mechanics and math of music are:
"Cosmometry, Exploring the HoloFractal Nature of the Cosmos" by Marshall Lefferts.
"Interference - A Grand Musical Scientific Theory" by Richard Merrick available at: http://interferencetheory.com/files/Interference.pdf
"One Note Samba" by Antonio Carlos Jobim - Sunday morning session playing Jobim songs. I'm a big fan of the great Brazilian composer.
Ruminations on the marimba this morning with "All The Things You Are" - experimenting with different four mallet techniques/sounds and seeing where it goes. Sometimes it's smooth sailing and sometimes it's off a cliff. Ha!Ha!
Theme from "Cinema Paradiso" by the great Italian composer Ennio Morricone. Thinking of everyone in Italy. This is a little clip for all of my vibraphone friends and colleagues there. Hoping things get better soon. Best wishes for everyone there.
About the clip: Experimenting in the basement "laboratory" today with vibes and strings. Layed down a string track from the electric piano and then played the vibes over that.
Off the cuff version of “Just Friends” while in between teaching online today in the studio. Pretty much just focusing on lines here.

Summertime and Soul Eyes. Not sure at all of the sound quality because i recorded with borrowed gear i don't master. Hope it will work...
Hope you're all well and in good spirits out there. Just wanted to share this new video of a series of videos I'm producing from home entitled "Choro in My Apartment." I'm joined by my friend and Brazilian bad@ss pianist Helio Alves. It serves to document my love of Brazilian music, Coffee, and Brazilian Coffee
