Recorded this on the fly yesterday with the phone for Fourth of July 2018. With some reharm here and there. A beautiful and timeless song.
Way too hot to work in the yard today so I'm in the house playing some vibes. I was running through an Astor Piazzolla book featuring his compositions and came across this song titled "Tango Choc". I'm basically sight reading through this. The song plays itself. Beautiful melody and harmony. I love Astor Piazzolla's music.
All keys all modes
You have any? post them here. Interesting ways of practicing scales!
Hi Everyone,
July's program is coming up on the 1st (rebroadcast on the 4th) with two new players, John Cocuzzi and Lennie Cuje. Cuje plays on "In Walked Bud," from Ron Holloway's CD Slanted. Cocuzzi plays the ever so wistful "What'll I Do," on his album Groove Merchant.
Dee Dee Bridgewater vocalizes with Milt Jackson, Paul Jost with Tony (the one and only), and Helen Humes with Red Norvo. Severi Pyysalo plays with the Vilka Wahl Quintet, Warren Wolf with the SF Jazz Collective and Tony has an encore on my son Nicholas' original "Big Pharma."
A new song I just finished composing titled "Cinematic Scene". I'm using a new set of my signature mallets (Vic Firth M39) that just arrived in the mail. Very happy how these mallets sound in terms of fullness, color and clarity. The lead sheet can be viewed and downloaded via Google Docs: Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_earYPvM3TsS0DU5OmqsFe5UcSDYSKxh/view
I just thought I'd post a video of me as I was messing around with the chords.
I don't think this is the one I already posted is it?
You guys should post some stuff. It's a great way to get better. As you're going to try your hardest, as if you have a performance. Don't underestimate the power of the POST!
