Meeting in Paris, David Friedman - marimba, Jean-Charles Richard - sax soprano, Philippe Macé - vibraphone
So I have been listening just recently to the new Christian McBride project, "Kind of Brown," featuring Warren Wolfe on vibes. I had heard about Mr. Wolfe through the grapevine, and then was duly impressed by some of his other recordings. I have to say that there is some very fine "kick-ass" playing on this CD, and I highly recommend it. Warren is already an important voice on the instrument. I do not know him at all, but I assume that a number of you do...I know he was up at Berklee.
This is a great Gary solo on a blues!
Hi there,
I'm practicing the Blues Etude (link below) but I have a problem to analyze bar 35. The chord on beat 4 is a bII9, a substitute dominant, right? But what function is a f d bflat a c on beat 1 - 3 in measure 35? Any help, please? Is it kind of a V13? Any help?
Thanxalot,

I'm pretty amazed about the competition post. It really shows what we've all done here, how we've come together. For me it makes all the work worthwhile.
It's cool to see how open everyone is, from the veterans like Burton and all the way down to players just hitting the scene like Joe Doubleday.
This might be second to us all hanging out in a club somewhere and playing and hanging, but for me it's a good second!
Here's some arranging madness with the tune Cherokee.
I posted this a long time ago. So see the 'check this out' link. Let me know what you think. And also if there's a need to talk about arranging....?

Here's a great video of Joe playing 'Available in Blue'. A beautiful tune!
Here's a really quick and simple 4 mallet version of invitation.
I talk about coming up with a quick version of the tune that fits with the melody, just something to get you going. Here's a version of that. Just really simple.
I would use this if you're having trouble coming up with your own version.
Hi Tony!
I've been messing around with Lou Reed's song Perfect Day and tried to do a jazz interpretation of the harmonic progressions but I got in trouble with the Fmaj and Dm bar.
Am/D7/Gmaj/Cmaj would be a II/V/I/VI progression in Gmaj.
I tried to use a Fmaj scale for soloing over the next two bars F(maj)/Dm as this would be a I/VI progression in Fmaj but this does not sound good.
So maybe you can give me a tip which scale to use on the three bars F(maj)/Dm/E7?
Hi All,
I've tried to contact Beiner Bags to get some info on the M55 cases, but haven't got any response. The only contact info I can find is a submit-a-question webpage (http://www.beinerbags.com/contact.php) -- I did that a week+ ago and haven't received any response. Does anyone have a better method of getting in touch with them?
Of the questions I have, one has been answered. I see that they now have an option for the cases without the bar bag at $550. Two other questions remain unresolved though:
