This etude gave me a run for my money. Still don’t like my touch on the instrument; sounds like everything I am playing is very harsh.
Check out Hauke's recital. It's really great playing! You guys will dig it.
“Falling Grace” by Steve Swallow. One of the great many compositions written by Steve. This one is like a Berklee standard and is a great song to explore with. I worked on this with Gary way back and 45 years later it’s still fun to play and see where the music takes you. I was looking through my files from when I was studying with Gary. He was a great teacher. Very open, organized and systematic. I uploaded the lead sheet he gave me with the chord scales listed. On the back of the lead sheet he wrote his system of chord scales as applied to improvisation. I uploaded those to google docs.
Second part of the masterclass I did at University of Toronto for the percussion students.

I wasn't really sure whether or not to post this. It's a very different kind of accountability today, I guess.
I recorded it for my girlfriend who just lost HER best friend - a very dear pet of hers who passed yesterday from liver cancer. Posted it on her FB wall with the lyrics...
"Olhos De Gato” by Carla Bley - one of the first songs I learned with Gary Burton when I was studying with him in the 70s. I was very fortunate to be able to attend Berklee. I started in 72 and Gary had started teaching there the year before.
Endless Island is David Friedman (vibraphone) and Jeremy Friedman (drums/electronics), a father son duo presenting a new turn in progressive electronic jazz, steeped in organic groovescapes and powerful free-form improvisation.
Did I post something like this recently.
I'm so busy I can't remember! But here's another one!
