Here’s the Days of Wine and Roses chord melody.
I’ll give my new solo cd to the first 2 people who do the following.
1. Play my chord melody
2. Take a solo
3. Play my chord melody or your melody for the head out
The deadline is February first 2019
You have to have good time, keep the time. I don’t care how simple the solo is! Just play it well
Old (VHS) rehearsal of "More Than You'll Ever Know," sans Sax! Believe me it got better! :)
Milt Jackson along with Cedar Walton, Ray Brown and Mickey Roker from 1984 performance at JazzFest Hamburg. The excellent rhythm section provides solid support for Milt on both tunes. This is one of my favorite versions of It Don't Mean A Thing, done at a slower tempo with a strong blues feeling. By the way Milt Jackson's birthday was January 1.

One of the best swinging 4tet where Milt is pushed to his limits and offers some of his sharpest solos. Same thing applies to Joe Pass. All due to the incredibly good rythm section. There's a lot of this team's work on YouTube. Enjoy !
"Both Sides Now" - a timeless classic from Joni Mitchell written in 1967. A very special song with great lyrics and a wonderful melody. I heard pianist Fred Hersch play this solo. It was a gorgeous rendition which inspired me to try it on vibes.
“In Your Quiet Place” by Keith Jarrett – one of my favorite songs from Keith and one of the first songs I learned way back when I was studying with Gary Burton. I can still vividly remember the lessons and Gary’s 5th floor corner office at the Berklee 1140 Boylston St. building in Boston. I also fondly remember his vintage set of gold Musser M55 vibe that he used for teaching and gigs. Those bars played "like butter". My lesson time was usually around lunch time and Gary would most often be eating a sandwich while I butchered these songs. Probably gave him indigestion. Ha!Ha!
Hi vibes friend today i'd like to talk about the Parker and Coltrane blues form!
