Cheyenne's Waltz first read through. Talk about stiff!!! Oh well, it got better.
First run through of Society Red. Very stiff, but it got better!
Check out Dewey Square. It's a Parker tune. It's an AABA tune where there's no melody on the bridge, so you have to solo. I did a chord melody on the A Sections. You figure out something for the bridge. I can help if you are stuck. I played it and talked about it here.
two versions of Jobim's Wave. Been working on this with Tony over the last few weeks so I'm posting two versions with comping Improv 3rds and 7ths some arpeggios and some straight improv trying make some nice melodies. I find comping can be tricky as in putting the chords in the right areas over solos. Dynamics are also important so thats another part I'm working on Would like to hear some feedback its been a while since I've posted
Thanks John
Here's another interesting bebop technique related to the chromatic and diatonic approach that I use a lot to embellish simple fragment of scales and arpeggios.
You'll sound immediately jazzy!!
Hope you enjoy.

Here's an attempt at Tony's H1CH thing. I'm not sure if it's a technically a chord melody because I break up the melody and chords most of the time.
Simply working on some basics with some Friedman Etudes. Feedback welcomed!
