Reminding me how white I am! Listen to the bass and drums. So locked in, me thinks.

Perfect interpretation, and they have many others tangos on YouTube. The real tango's feeling.

Hi everybody,

So I know it's a bit late, but the new TOTM (Days of Wine and Roses) has really inspired me to build up a wider repertoire of tunes, so I've come up with a new year's resolution.

From today, I'm going to try and learn a new tune every two weeks (by ear), and at the end of the two weeks post a recording on here, to give a sense of finality to the exercise.

John! You're birthday is the same as Gary Burton I think.

Two great people! One GREAT vibe player and one up and coming great vibe player!

You guys are both great friends of mine and great supporters of the site. You both have many friends here!

So I hope you both have a very Happy Birthday!

Let's all wish John and Gary a Happy Birthday!

Check out the lines!

Hi to everybody coming to the workshop at Niko's in Sassenheim. I'm afraid my "suggestion" to prepare Coltrane's "Giant Steps" sounded a bit too harsh. I shouldn't have said "prepare" these two tunes, but rather check them out. I know "Giant Steps" is a killer and many people feel their not up to it yet. But, hey,no stress. NOBODY is comparing or giving a test. I just thought it might be fun to take this "boogy man" of a jazz tune and demystify him a bit.

I would like to ask the participants to prepare the following two tunes, which I want to concentrate on in depth. In terms of voicings, please prepare "Darn That Dream" in G major.
For lines and linear improvisation, please prepare "Giant Steps".

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 18th in Sassenheim!
