"How My Heart Sings" composed by Earl Zindars and played by pianist Bill Evans on his 1964 recording titled the same name. Bill and Earl were good friends and Bill played quite a few songs composed by Earl. I first learned this song way back when I was studying with Gary Burton in the 70s. It was played quite a lot around Berklee back then. There's another great version from pianist Mulgrew Miller on the recording Young At Heart from drummer Tony Williams. My fantastic student/vibist Lucas Amorim and I have been working on this song in the past few lessons.

Hi VW friends!
If you are going to be in town for PASIC, be aware that Indy's jazz tradition is still going VERY strong. We have amazing players who come up from the great music school at IU, plus a bunch of fantastic local players. There are two clubs in Indy that are strictly jazz - the Jazz Kitchen, and the Chatterbox. The Chatterbox is located downtown - just one mile from the Convention center and is really worth checking out. On weekdays the music starts at 8:00 and there is no cover charge and the drinks are cheap.

"Imagine" by John Lennon - Recorded in 1971, this song is timeless and one was John Lennon's biggest hit. Seems so appropriate for what's going on in today's world. Here's my interpretation which includes some reharm and a modulation. Mallets: Vic Firth Signature model (M39).
