“In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning” - one of my favorite ballads written in 1955 by David Mann with lyrics from Bob Hilliard. So many great versions of this song by vocalists and instrumentalists. Two of my favorites are from Frank Sinatra on his 1955 recording “In the Wee Small Hours” and from Keith Jarrett on his 1995 recording “Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note”.

Something very cool about Walk Dickerson and his approach to the vibes!

I know Randy Sutin will agree!

He crazy at the end, but I really like his playing!

"Time and Space" is an exercise that rhythmically slices intervalic space into whole and half-step movements ascending and descending between the lower note to the higher note. By first defining the predominant interval in half-notes and then rhythmically slicing it up into various divisions of quarter notes, triplets, and simple odd tuplets (5:2 and 7:2) we can strengthen our inner feel of time using the space between the two outer notes as a reference.

A little Sunday morning practice on “You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To” by Cole Porter. After a few cups of coffee. Ha!Ha!
